Here some pics of the conversion, I found a 6.0 with a blown motor, ill be using a 93 cummins and destroked parts and the ford auto. The powestroke came out easy and we loaded it up in the ole 1st gen

 

How much does that 6.leaker weigh you think? it doesnt look like your engine hoist was having much stress and from the picture It looks like it was out on the 1/2ton slot.

Im about to start a swap here soon im my 99 cclb 6spd that I just bought.

Are you going to use the destroked engine mounts also?

 

Good Lord look at that rat's nest of hoses and wires. No wonder the 6.NO is a boat anchor. I bet it'll be really nice to have the 5R110 auto behind the Cummins though. From what I hear, that's a pretty decent trannie.

On another note, how much did you have to give for the Ford? I've been considering doing this very thing since I could really use a 4-door. What do you think the conversion parts are going to cost?

 

im using destoked mounts, i paid 2800 for the truck it was a repo with a blown motor haha conversion parts were 4200 with TC including the core charge ouch, but i hope to get most of it back parting out the 1gen and 6.0 parts

 

Well, that's the only way I'd put a Powerstrole in a 1st gen. LOL

 

waiting on parts at a stand still

 

Pulled the ole cummins out today Time for Purple power and new seals Then paint







Does anyone know what this IS??? Its the cover behind the fuel filter, The cover is loose? whats behind there? Should I worry about it?

 

the long rubber cover is the lifter valley cover, it should be tight because there is a lot of oil behind it during operation.. if that's what you were talking about.

 

Wow its been a while since I posted. I got the engine in. The tranny had to be moved back about 2 in but fortunately ford had bolt holes already drilled so the crossmember bolted right up. I still got to figure out the fuel lines. Auto World/destroked kit comes with a altenator kit to use the ford altenator.

 

Finished the downpipe. Its a 4in to fit the he351

 

this could be a problem, the turbo exh side is right against the plastic ford air box, any ideas? I heard you can flip the manifold for more clearance

well i figured out the throttle cable both the 1 gen and the ford gasser cable was way to long. I wanted the factory look so i cut them both in 2. I wanted it to hook up factory on the firewall and on the cummins. i guess ill just put a split shot at the end of the cable for the gas pedal? im just going to heat shrink and electrical tape the joint.

 

Since the motor is in I had to put the emblems on. I got carried away and tried to rip the powerstoke emblem off to fast on the pass side

 

Is this thing up and running yet?

 

yep its running still got to tie up a few loose ends. Im using the ford auto and it shifts off the dodge tps. Right now it shifts ay to early so i have to adjust the tps. I have to find the P/S leak to and hook up the A/C
