Hey Guys. So before I start this post I just want to say a few things. This is my first event build post and this build will probably take me forever!! So now we got that out of the way.
I want to engine swap a 6.0 diesel into my 1986 F-250 I have seen people do these type of swaps but, most that I have seen body swapped a older Ford body onto a newer truck frame. I have already done some modifications to my 86 already:
7.3 IDI swap
Zf5 swap
Dana 60 solid axle swap
Hydro boost for brakes.
All of these modifications were all bolt on and very easy to do. This 6.0 swap is definitely not a bolt in swap.
I picked up a 2004 F-550 with a 6.0 with an zf6. The frame and body was junk on the truck. I have already pulled the drivetrain out and all the electrical components.While I have the engine out, I replaced the head gasket, installed head studs, had the injections rebuilt, upgraded to a newer HPOP, rebuilt the oil cooler,EGR delete and rerouting the coolant so it doesn’t travel through the intake.
Hopefully in the next few days I will have the drivetrain out of the 86 and will test fit the 6.0 in the engine bay.
here are a few photos of the engine bay and my 6.0 torn apart.
