6.0 Powerstroke in a OBS
 
Seen this video on youtube


It got the gears in my brain turning on the concept of putting a 6.0 Powerstroke put into a OBS. Is anyone familiar with Lead Foot Diesel, Performance LLC out of Loganville, GA? They seem to be the coal crazed minds behind this swap and I'd definitely like to talk to those guys if they're on here.

Before everybody starts hollerin' "12V this" and "12 that" I realize that the 12V Cummins is the swap of choice for it's simplicity, reliable, etc. However, I feel like the 6.0 Powerstroke block is a more bolt-on swap and the wiring (while it will be a headache) wouldn't be necessarily impossible. While I'm a huge Dodge/Cummins fan, I'm also one of the types that doesn't like to do the same old same old. I feel like plugging in wires would be alot easier than having to cut and weld my frame to accept the necessary mounts for a 6BT Cummins.

The Cummins is getting to be the small-block Chevy of the diesel community, everybody's using them and me personally I'd like to do something different. I like the sound of the 6.0 Powerstroke and I know it has a very large aftermarket for it. Despite the shortcomings, I know with $2-3 grand I can get what I need from Bulletproof Diesel to make the truck as reliable as I need it. That's still cheaper than the $2-4 grand I'd spend just on a conversion kit for a Cummins, not withstanding the price of a Cummins itself.

Any help, words of encouragement would be appreciated.
