My current ride is a 92 f250 with orignal 7.3 N/A I just purchased a 91 bluebird bus with a 5.9 and 4 speed alison. Have any of you felliows used this combination in a swap? I know the trans is not what most people prefer but it was cheap and it works. What rear gears would yall recomend ?

 

this will be a wonderful combonation, I would just try it with yer current gearing and see how it does there, you will find more power with the Cummins over the old natural asperated stroke, also there is a ton of things that can be done to make more power.....................just get it in there and runnin, only one wire needed for fuel solinoid and it will run

 

Got the bus home over the week end. Got to put a ford 2.9 gasser together for my daughter before I can start pulling the engine out of the bus.

 

Got ythe 2.9 put together today Maybe I can get it put in Monday, probaly take me a week to get every thing hooked up and running. Just be workin on it during the evenings after work. After that I'll start pullin the cummins out of the bus.

I was going to do this but changed my mind when I found out the tranny is like a rubber band, the pump cant be turned up as much as the dodge pump, the tranny is HUGE, and it would only top out at like 70 mph. My buddy did the same thing in a chev 3500 dually and regrets it every day. Just my 2 cents tho.

 

Let us know if you need any help as we have done a few of these conversions and the pre 94 5.9L industrials, from the research we have done are not the same pumps as the tier 1 emissions industrial engines. We have a 93 P7100 out of a bus on 00 P Pump 24V and we will know in the next week or so how much they will do since they are NON emissions plungers.

 

I'll be glad when you get it done. Looks like your gonna beat me to my bronco conversion. Did the 2.9 start up? Interesting about the different pumps between the bus and trucks

 

There are alot more variations to the P7100 than some would think.

 

I have seen several variations of the p7100 but not the VE rotary pump that his engine has. Can you share some of the differences the you know of in the VE pump?

Also, Silverhair has a weird water intercooler instead of the charge air manifold cooler that i am accustomed to seeing. Has anyone any experience with these? Do they work well? Pros/cons. And how hard is the CUMMINS to ford aod adapter to find reasonably? Thanks in advance.
