Has anyone here actually swapped the 24 valve engine out of a truck and put in a 12 valve? I've seen a couple posts about the possibility of doing this, but I was wondering if anyone has actually ever done this. I'd like some info on this straight from the horses mouth... How hard is it? What does it cost? What problems came up? Things of that nature...

 

Im sure its been done...and likely by someone here....probably dont want to reveal any secrets....

Im sure there are a few small things that may cause problems - cruise control etc.

Anyone??

 

I'd love to have a quad cab, rear disk, 6sp truck and swap a 12v in it...

I considered that option if I ever need a new engine. Maybe in another 700,000 or so......

 

no but i work with a guy that put a p7100 in regular 24 valve engine and he said its awesome, not sure of all the work that he did to it though

 

That is the other option.....may take some fine tuning though....

 

I'd think getting a 98 12V and putting some EGR rear discs and swapping out the NV4500 would be easier. No wiring or computer issues to deal with.

 

yeah Forrest, just go out and get yourself a 98 12V quad cab....

Get one for me too.

 

I wouldn't mind having one too.

 

yeah, but a truck w/ a 24v VIN could legally run without a cat

Point taken....a p-pump conversion is also an option

(I will see my first born for a p-pump)....

 

just p pump athe 24v and be done with it. it is not that hard to do.

 

no thanks... I'll take a worked over 12v over a p-pumped 24v

 

go to a wrecking yard and get the 98 12v wiring harness and computer and all the other do hickies and then swap them into a 99 or 98 24v truck

 

I got the engine and wireing harness!! any takers I'll take$2000 right know!
