Nope not a dodge crewcab, i'm starting down the path to a Fummins.

This is my super charged 460 gas guzzling crewcab, 1989 F350 with a kingpin dana 60 front axle with detroit locker, rear axle has detroit also.



This is my donor truck. Has a ve pumped cummins with a 518 overdrive trans. Currently has a NP205 t-case behind that with a long adapter, which I don't really like. So I think i'm going to pick up a 241hd t-case to bolt the the A518 just so that big cast iron monster isn't hanging off the back end of that little aluminum tail shaft housing.



So thats my big project for the year. Can't wait to get it done!

Have you got another one 4DR nice truck good choice

apwatson50

nope this crew is the only one I have. I sure do like the truck just can't wait till it has a good engine!

Flake

Cool.
I'll bet that blown 460 gets awesome mileage.

You might get a 100% mpg improvement with the swap.

apwatson50

haha yeah, try 9mpg empty on the highway. So I don't think a 100% improvement is too outrageous!

jesussaves

did you have the SC put on? Post some pics of the engine

apwatson50

No I bought the CC with the SC already on the 460. It doesn't have as much power as you would think. It sucks towing

Was that the F250 on craigslist in eastern Colorado for really cheap?

apwatson50

yes it was, were you looking at it?

crewcabxlt

your gonna love it . cummins powered fords are a great truck

apwatson50

I just wish I had one like yours. The only downside would be the short bed.

Terraizer

Just seen it on craigslist, would have tried to buy it if i hadn't just bought a 1997 3500 4x4 for around the same price.

Well I've made progress on the swap, here is what I accomplished this weekend:









I am now in the process of pulling the cummins from the donor truck. Just about have it all unhooked and ready to pull.

You lucky guy I wish I could do that I found a truck exactly the same and would love to do a swap and have a sweet Fummins!

apwatson50

I can't wait to have this thing up and running. It is going to be a ton of work and the swap is mostly done already! I couldn't imagine doing it all from scratch.
