Hey guys, I'm thinking of going to the dark side in the future and swaping a 5.9 in place of my 7.3, figure if I'm going to do it down the road I better learn about it now.
What do guys normaly swap into a ford? 12v or 24V?
What all is requred for the swap?
What 5 speed does dodge normaly run behind it or what is best? I have a zf in my truck now.
There is a 12V on craigslist in my area with a hole in the block, it is complete with the turbo and all the brackets and accesories, says it has a P pump on it whatever that is, could probably get it for $500. does that sound like a good starting point to get some good parts and brackets accumulated?
Thanks for any and all advice (criticsm for even thinking about this is welcome too )
Thanks,
-Rob
