Long Nose Superduty
Has anybody seen or heard of building a "long hood" (ala Pete or KW) Ford Superduty so they could fit alternative engines - DT-466, 8.3 Cummins, 3208's or other similar engines too large to fit in the stock truck. I think something like that done properly could be very cool. There are enough of them out there that they should start showing up in wrecking yards and gassers are getting to be reasonable. I would build a frame specifically to handle the engine then add the cab and stretch the fenders and hood to match.

Start here on this F-650 
It's not as stretched as some I've seen.
