Default swapping my 6.7 out for a 7.0 or cummins

Does anyone know where i can find any info on these engine swaps? My dad has had noting but trouble with his 6.7 and is looking to swap it out for either a Cummins or an older 7.0 powerstroke engine. Any info/pointers/advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

A 2005 Ford should be a 6.0. Ford never had a 7.0 it was a 7.3. Welcome BTW.

He uses it alot for hauling equipment and stuff like that. I know he said about going with a cummins, but they are really hard to get ahold of.

just buy a beat up dodge truck, being in a dodge makes cummins engines affordable.

That seems absurd. If anything, throw in a 5.9 common rail cummins. I've also seen some superdutys with a DT360 International motor in them. The DT will withstand far more abuse than a cummins will. The crank out of the 360 makes the 5.9 crank look like it belongs in a toyota. Contact Carson Stauffer for info on the DT360 swap, or for cummins swaps you can contact destroked.com, I would stay away from Fordcummins.com
