I agree we might have to go with a custom tube frame! You know what lets do the custom tube frame, and keep the cab stock, and used the front end as a shell. Weld it all up and turn it into a flip nose. that way we can get to the PowerPlant. We might have to put the cooling system in the bed? either that bring the power-plant into the fire wall and angle the cooling system?
we could use a strange system like Wide Open Performance? then we would have to turn it into... Naw lets custom tonu it!

Whats our cost so far? I'm thinking $300 for the truck, $400 or more for materials, $700 or more for the power-plant and ECM. Wiring? get that from the doner truck $0

puttin in a 7.3 is playin it safe if he puts in a cummins the torque is equal to that of the earth quake in japan. the rear axle would end up on top of the truck... somethings a ford just wasn't meant for

I think you should go with this guys idea and put the engine in the bed. So be it his engine is a little bit bigger than the 7.3 ha
