Being a later front end, probably a 5.9/Allison. My work truck is that combo.

That'd be a good fit almost looks like the right length for the frame and axles! I've got a bronco and a crew cab if only I had some extra time lol

I still have it.
about to remake it tho.
remake it to fit on a medium duty chassis. a lot of medium duty choices for powerplants. Lima V8s, cummins, FNH Ford 6.6/7.8 , a 3126 cat/C7 will even fit in there. those have to be cheap in California, less stringent emmisions on commercial trucks too aren't they.

I hate to plant ideas but man you have all that great stuff so cheap out there:cheers:

There a oldish ford cab over engine water/ fuel truck in my area for 1000 dollars has a inline six diesel motor of some sort they say it was made in Brazil. Sat for 8 years where it was parked turns over but not run yet. I'd buy it just for the engine and other goodies attached but I don't have a extra 1k right now lol but someone here may?? Excellent Canidate for a motor swap into something else or some kind of project

yep Ford Cargo made in brazil. I think they called them a CF series. all the FNH diesel engines were made in brazil. those were decent trucks but the cab and controls were crap. I was working at the Ford heavy truck dealers back then. never did any driveline/chassis work on those trucks but always fiddling with the cab stuff.
those engines had no sleeves but the 5.9 cummins doesn't either .................... if its been sitting 8 years , they probably parked it because nobody could get them parts for the heater controls or wipers or soemthing cab related to ge *** safetied. good chance it doesn't have many miles/hours on it.

those engines were used a lot in Ford tractors , have a decent service/reliability record.

up here the cabs rotted off the Cargo so bad they barely made it out of warranty.

That sounds about right the whole thing looks brand new I'm sure somebody will find a creative use for it
