I totally agree! That's the right way to think. Dont forget the lonesome DT408, it's not bad either. All 408's from trucks had a P-pump.
What's the ftmfw? I can guess the first 4 letters.

I'd do a 360 swap if I could get my hands on the parts...

You are one of a handfull of people i have heard talk good about the duramax.
Im not sayin they are horrid engine by anymeans, i have had nothing but bad luck with them. In personal use and in work use. Add to the fact that i really hate the interiors on the chevies. I wont ever own one.

Isuzu makes the duramax, chevy cant even succesfully pull off a diesel engine.
That would be swapping in a competitors engine.

Cummins is a standalone engine supplier, who ever wants one, gets one...
Thats how it is.
There is why i dont see the issue with the cummins swap, and i do the duramax.

Just for the sake of honesty we have never seen Ford pull off a diesel either.

What about the Fords they put in the MD trucks? If you consider being made by New Holland in Brazil. But they have a "Ford" script on the valve cover.

What he said..

What trucks did the 408 come in??

 

[nevrenufhp]

Same as the 360 it replaced. They were in the 93-97 4700-4900, and bus chassis(3800 I think)

 

[dragogt]

I6 or V8????

 

[nevrenufhp]

It's a 6, same block as a 466. Not the 6.9 litre IDI, which is a 420.
A little motto to go by:
"6 in a row makes it GO! If it's a Vee, it aint for me!

 

[dragogt]

Be a hard/ tight fit in F1-350 then huh??

 

[nevrenufhp]

It would be a challenge for a good fab guy. Stick with the 360 for easier fitment.
Here's my old project, a 466 sooper dooty:

This is true...
Atleast not in a light duty truck.
