    Greg Outside of the vibration of the 4BT was it enough engine for your truck? Thank You!

    Ford 66-73 F-250 conversion

    Greg Is the stock suspension substantial enough for a 6BT? Will it fit without cab modifications or body lift? I am going to swap a diesel into my truck. I am looking at possible options. I plan to use a Borg/Warner T-19 with a Watson overdrive .66 and stock Dana 60 4.10 rear end. I...

    Hi Greg Thanks for the reply! I have had one ford 7.3 Powerstroke (Loved it) I have had one Ford 6.0 (Not so much) I have been around diesels all my life and I like them much better than gas engines. I want to find a diesel that I can install in my truck with the least amount of...

    6.9 Marine oil pan

    Would this oil pan fit a 6.9? Would it be shallower than an automotive pan? The steering linkage in a 66 Ford F-250 is behind the I-beams and creates oil pan steering linkage clearance issues Thank You! http://www.boats.net/images/diagrams/Merc2/CRUISER/809677.94/14.png...

    Thanks for the replies. I have a Watson (Spicer) auxiliary transmission I am going to put in the truck. It has a .75 overdrive, Direct and 1.50 under drive. I am planning to use a close ratio Borg Warner T-19 main transmission. I have already upgraded the front end to a front end with disc...

    Thanks Guys! The 300 is a great engine. I have owned three and they have been reliable and relatively good on fuel. My truck doesn't really like the ethanol and ethanol free gas is becoming extinct in my area. I am going to continue driving the truck with the 300 while I gather parts and...

    Thanks for the great replies! I know the Cummins 4BT's were a repower unit for vans with ford chassis. How much length is needed bell housing to radiator for a first generation 6BT? Someone on the slick 60's site attempted to swap a 6.9 into a 65 and said it could not be done because of...

    Thanks Guys! I drive this truck to my blacksmith shop every day 110 miles round trip. I frequently haul a ton or so of horseshoes. I would like to increase my fuel mileage that is currently around 14 mpg with the 300 6cyl. I want to stay with mechanical injection. The steering linkage is...

    Has anyone put a diesel engine in a 66-73 Ford F-250 2 wheel drive? I have a 66 F-250 and would like to swap the 300 6 cal for a diesel. What engine will fit and get the best mileage? Thank You!

    EGR Cleaning

    Thanks for the reply! Cleaned EGR ( was not bad or stuck). Truck still will not run. I guess it's time for another tow to a Dealership so they can tinker with it. As long as Ford has 6.0's to work on they shouldn't need a Government bail out.

    1966 F250 6.9 SWAP

    Thanks for the replies! I currently have truck torn down to frame for sandblasting. If there is an area that needs to be boxed now would be a convienant time to do it. I have the front end from a 72 with disc brakes (dual piston calipers) larger I-beams, 1 1/16 king pins, and forged radius arms...
