I happen to have spare diesel motor out of an 89 3/4 ton and was wondering the difference between the pickup engine and the engine they use in commercial trucks such as a Ford 7000. Is it all in the injector pump or are the internal parts different? I am wanting to put this engine in a two ton truck but wonder if it will lack the horsepower to pull itself in a heavy truck. Also would I have to get a different plate to bolt to heavy transmission as opposed to the five speed it did have? Where would such a plate be found new, from cummins or eaton maybe?
I would greatly appreciate and help.
Thanks

The guts are the same. You can turn up the IP to do whatever you want.

The Block Adapter is likely a SAE pattern for a heavy truck, should be easily obtained from either a truck boneyard, or they pop up on Ebay as well.

should be plenty of power if you turn it up go to www.4btswaps.com for your info on how to swap things and questions you may have.

Thanks guys for your help. I figured they were the same internally but it doesn't hurt to ask.
