Either route you go you're going to have to modify something. If you use a Dodge radiator, you'll have to modify the mounts and support for the radiator to go into the Ford core support. But if you use a Ford radiator, you have to modify the hoses. I used a radiator out of a 96 Powerstroke for mine, we actually reused the top hose from the Cummins, just had to cut about 4 inches off of it, but the bottom hose required a little more head scratching.

 

hey guys, i see this is a very old thread, but i am wondering if anyone is willing to help me out with the wiring for my swap? my truck is a 97 ford f350 that originally was a 460 with a zf5. as of now, a 97 12v is sitting in the 460's place. the zf5 is also mated to the 12v.

im still working on other things such as the fuel tank/system, coolant hoses and intercooler piping, mounting the batteries, exhaust etc. i have town into my ford harness and am just stumped as to where to go from here. wiring is my least strong suit and im almost ready to give up. i want this project done so bad but i am willing to do what it takes to complete it right.

i can provide any info needed if someone is willing to help with this project, im willing to pay for your services. im at a cross roads on this project and it sucks.

thanks in advance
