First. The Cummins having what advantages of an already available Power stroke that's already in there. I've had some wild ideas over the years, but the easy button is always worth a look.

I do have a friend that stuffed a Cummins in a square body Chevy. Tight, not impossible, but a lot of work, for? The Ford, with the latter years of clutter would seem to be that much more complicated. Just wondering.


I have both a 7.3 and a 12V. The 7.3 is most excellent however it does have about 12 miles of wire that it needs to work. Any hiccups in said wire and it's done.

My 12V needs a manual fuel stop opened and a rope to run. It needs absolutely nothing electric.
