I'm new hear but I bought a parts diesel cheap to get all the parts my only question is how much heavier will the 6.9 idi from a 84 f250 be than the 302 from my 92 f150

I have a 2003 F-150 and have been thinking about doing the 3bt swap. O r trying put 6.6 duramax in. Any insite would be great!

i see everyone here is talking about the v-6 motor. i have a 95 150 with the 5.8. it already has air spring on the front and 3/4ton spring on the rear. would you sugest the 7.3 5.9 or 4BT?

i say the 4bt, its small easy to put in, plenty of torque and good mpg

yo guys im glad to see that im not the only one putting a deisel in an f150 but im trying to put a 7.3 in , aparently some of you frown on that but ive got a 92 f250 to canabalize for parts ther is nothing wrong with the f250 that i cant fix but i think my 99 f150 would be nice with a strait axle convesion on some 54 boggers bein powered by my deisel . this wont be my first strait axle convesion but it will be my first deisel conversion i just wanted to see if any one could offer some insight as to the wiring and what i will have to do

How about Ford's new 3.5 ecoboost diesel engine. This engine is currently being use in the 2011 f150 and Taurus. I have a 2002 f150 supercrew and I'm thinking of doing this swap. Does anybody know what kind of problem I will encounter if I'll do this swap? Any information or suggestion will be appreciated. Thank you.

6.9 international
 

i was wondering how much stuff i would have to change over to put my 6.9 liter diesel out of a 85 ford and put it in a 79 f250 gasser i have the transmission that goes with the 6.9

300 c i d to Diesel
 

the original owner of this thread was asking about a diesel in a OBS Ford 1981-1997 !

I have a 1995 F350 that I put a 5.9 Cummins in and I love it!

I aquired a 1982 2WD ext cab short bed and a 6bt is going in there! Same body style and frame configurations and I can make engine mounts up in an afternoon :pca1:. Granted I'm putting a Steerling rearend in the back and going with a D60 (out of a 99 Dodge with coil springs) up front, because I'm converting it to a 4WD! It is an easy swap and I feal that the frame is more that stout enough to handle the Tq!

Keep us informed on you Dannzego ! :pca1::pca1:

NOT A DIESEL

---AutoMerged DoublePost---

Here is another option, if you can get one over here! its actually made by Ford. This is a variant of the engine they have been considering to actually sell in F150's here.

AJD-V8
Main article: Jaguar AJD-V6 engine

The 3.6 L V8 is built at Dagenham engine, It is a twin-turbocharged Diesel V8 producing 270 PS (266 hp/199 kW) and 640 N·m (472 ft·lbf). Production began in April 2006. It is very closely related to the 2.7L V6 version (same bore & stroke) and was designed at Ford's Dagenham Diesel Centre product development site, with input from Land Rover powertrain team.

Applications:

2007 Land Rover Range Rover
2007 Land Rover Range Rover Sport

A year and a half and 15k miles on my F150, little 8.8 holding up like a champ, mods in my sig :hellox:

To everyone else here who has posted, the most simple swap is one without electronics. A PowerStroke has electronics, simple as that. IMO, your best bet is either a 4BT or 6BT. You will hear that a 6BT is too much for a half ton, and not calling anyone else a liar, but that is not my experience, everything on the truck may go tomorrow, but a year and a half and 15k miles later, its all still holdin up. There is another guy on here by the name of cumminsF150 who also has a 5.9 in his F150. And beyond that, I personally know two guys with 5.9's in half ton Dodges. But it comes down to whatever you want to do :tu:
