Here are some pictures and info on my Cummins swap.

What I started with, stock 1992 Ford F250 XLT with a 460efi and E4OD


The donor truck: 91.5 Dodge Cummins, one owner, 250k, got it from a guy I worked with for $500!!!!


Pulled it all out in one shot


Welding up my shackle reversal front hanger


Getting ready to put the Dana 60 in. No more POS TTB!!!


Front hanger installed with "V" code Super Duty front springs


My rear shackle flip brackets all welded up


Brackets welded onto the frame


Got the worst of the suspension work out of the way, got the clip and core support off, time for some fun!!!


Got the 460 and E4OD out of the way


Fitting the Cummins and A518 in place


Got the core support back on, time to fab up some mounts

 

You got a good lookin project. I like it alot

 

Engine mounts, used 1/2" thick angle iron and plate and then the factory Cummins bushings




Lucked out and just had to drill some new holes and could reuse the factory Dodge trans crossmember


Got the nose clip back together. Didn't get any pics of the brackets I made to fit the Dodge intercooler, may have to pull the grill back off and take some later. Straight piped, side dump with 5" chrome tip


Used Ford rear axle spring plates with new holes drilled and shock tabs welded to them and then a high steer arm with a factory F350 drag link.


I used the stock in tank electric pumps with a Holley fuel pressure regulator/w return bypass to cut the line pressure down to 7psi


Fab'd up brackets to fit the Dodge radiator. Managed to get the Cummins throttle cable to hook to the Ford pedal and hit WOT. Same with shifter cable, modified the linkage on the A518 to fit the Ford cable, runs through all the gears, put the OD lock out on a toggle.


Wired the grid heaters to a push button on the dash


Patched the hole where the T-case shifter came through, still need to patch the hole in the carpet or get new carpet.




How she looks almost finished, painted the wheels black and put my canopy back on





Major things left to do are get pinion degree shims and align it, get a trans cooler and run the lines, figure out why the alternator isn't charging and get a front driveline built. Also before next summer, figure out how to mix and match the AC system to work, at the moment I just deleted it.

 

Now get'er done mang!

 

She looks dang good. You have made a lot of progress.

 

That turned out awesome! Thanks for posting all those pics.

 

Got a video of it driving out at my buddies house this weekend!!

What did you do with the power steering lines, I'm doing the same swap i have the engine and tranny in just don't know what to do with the power steering hoses.

 

Welcome to Diesel Bombers to start with!! And as for the lines, I took both the Ford and Dodge lines into a local shop that builds hydraulic lines and had them build me a new one with the Cummins pump and Ford steering box ends. I think it was like $30-40, can't remember for sure now. As for the return line, it's just low pressure power steering hose. You should start a thread with your conversion too, would like to see pics of it!

 

wow man that's one sweet project!
