99 Powerstroke Conversion
Considering buying a 99 Crewcab for a Cummins 12V conversion. Should be doable but Im not exactly sure if I have all the skills do do this.
Any tips, knowledge, or advice would be appreciated before I jump in with both feet.

If I could do mine all over again (aside from having to rebuild due to a melted motor ), I'd butcher the crossmember, box the frame, and make my own REMOVABLE crossmember...and I would definitely encourage this in a newer body style truck. Turns out, the height of the motor makes pulling the motor a pain, and in-frame rebuilds would be soooooooo much easier with a drop out crossmember. Just my two cents though...
Other than that, with a mechanical motor, you're pretty much just motor mounts and simple plumbing away from your very own Fummins. If I can do it, anyone can.

yeah, it's tight all right. I cut a section from the upper firewall and it still scraped the pan on the crossmember. once it's in there though, there's a ton of room under the hood. The superduty is a great conversion because the radiator support comes off easy and there's plenty of room in the engine bay
