Does anyone know if a 1994 12 valve Cummins will fit into the engine bay of a 1977 Ford Econoline van? I have the engine in a wrecked truck, and the van which currently has a 351W gasser in it. I know that the vans came with both a 300 I-6 and a 460 V-8.

I want to be able to tow a camp trailer with the van. (the wife needs a power scooter to get around...so I need the van to haul it.) The van does all right running around empty, but it has almost enough power to pull a greased stick out of wet mud.

If this will not fit, I will probably go with a 6.5 litre GM. I am pretty sure that this will fit, but I would rather have the Cummins in it if there is enough room.

Thanks!

You might be able to put the Cummins in the back and the scooter under the hood

 

That's what I'm afraid of!

 

There is a guy in Colorado that swapped a 12v in his motorhome that has the econoline chassis, it fit nicely. His build is over on 4btswaps, his user name is Joz I think.

 

FTE,

Found one, the guy with the Flair motorhome? Was talking about swapping in both a 4bt and a 6bt?

I wish I knew if the engine bay dimersions are the same/similar from '77 and '90.

Thanks for pointing me at that build!
