I have a line on a solid 2003 Ford Excursion V-10 4x4 for $3k.
I have a line on a Cummins 12v for $1,800.
Anyone ever done this swap?
Obviously I will dial up the Cummins while it is not installed.
Either keep the RE47 and Stage 3 rebuild or interface with the existing Ford... figure between the adapter and torque converter (big RPM difference)... rebuilding the RE would make the most sense probably?
I had a Eaton Fuller 6 speed behind a Cummins once (F-650) and it was PERFECTION... but that EF6 is one big mofo.
Anyone ever done this swap... words of wisdom or caution?
The whole truck will get refurbished after the mechanics are right.
Figure I can resell the V-10... value? Anyone know? $500?
I'm sure it can be done. I eat lunch with a guy who has done a dozen cummins swaps. I'm not real sure what gen cummins he prefers, but i'm pretty sure its the P-pump mechanicals and older.
I'ld ask him for you, but he is pretty well only face to face. He wont even text. He will read them, but refused to send them. Hell of a mechanic though. Good luck. Do as much homework as you can.
