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?

Buddy had a Cummins conversion on an F350 with 6.0l diesel.
Guy in Waynesboro VA specializes in this conversion. I can get you his info if you’re so inclined. If nothing else might be some good advice from someone with a lot of experience.

Know a guy that stuck a duramax in an ‘05 (?) 3/4 ton suburban and
Another buddy is getting ready to do a diesel swap in a 70’s FJ40.
That’s actually one I could get behind.

I’d rather have a factory diesel 70 series land cruiser.
