Searched got no match and can't find a engine swap page or anything

Would love a good write up on a 7.3 turbo and zf6

Thank you, Adam

I can't recall seeing any here, but I'm guessing that either Fellro (Roger) or Dustybumpers (Charlie) might have some input once they see this thread

Well, you also have to be careful which 7.3 turbo you `re`quest... One in mechanical, one is electronic. The 7.3 Powerstroke is a lot more involved to swap.

It's a 2000 I have the whole doner truck tho all I know of now is firewall clearance issues

I think it would be cool to keep the cruise as well don't know if I could but I have an old cruise column
I'd also love to use the axles mainly for the brakes

Thanks for the quick reply
 
I don't think it's a very popular swap because of the complexities. You're on the same train of thought as I would be though as far as braking.

I wonder if you have the whole donor truck if swapping the body wouldn't be easier.

Short of putting the older body on the newer frame, you would have a very costly project.

It would be unique.
I would love to see something like that, if you decide to do it, please do a write up!
