I am thinking about putting a 5.9 mechanical cummins into my 77 f-250, was wondering if anyone here has done this and knows what to expect to get into during the process. Dont know if its worth the time and money, but i already have the truck and engine. And i can never have too many diesels running around the place.

 

Sounds fun to me. Lots of swaps going on at 4btswaps.com including the 5.9's. I'm sure there have been some on here too. May also want to check out the page at Destroked - THE Cummins Conversion Company : Home Page as well for cummins conversion parts.

 

i did one in my 78 Bronco, wasn't too tough and i made as much stuff as i could.
it was definatly worth it.
planning on doing another one on my brothers 92 F-350 next.

 

Dan Hows that Bronco running?

 

i'm Sam but my bronco is runnin great!
ps i did mine first!!

 

There is some good info on the 4bt site, but most of the members are ****. Do lurk a bit to find what you need from the site.

 

Sam thats nuts ik dan real well i saw the picture and its the same color and everything sorry i thought you were him

 

no biggie, i had a good chuckle when he started posting build pics, couldn't believe someone else was doing a cummins swap in a truck that looks so close to mine!

and he does post a whole lot more than i do.

 

ya hes pretty into he loves that bronc and it runs really well too! its his dd to

 

Easiest way to do it is get a donor truck to swap the whole drive train into your truck
