12V Cummins in a Ford
I have an opportunity to buy a 97-98 12v Cummins that I am told came out of a Ford truck; how do I confirm that were these available in Ford trucks???? Or does it matter???
The motor has 300 kilomteres on it, which is 180k miles....

I see a lot of school-bus take-outs that even have Ford Blue-Ovals on the valve-covers and intake cross-over(if non-IC).
If out of a bigger Ford or school-bus, they have much bigger oil-pans with the "sump" located in such a manner that the pan must be changed to use them in a ton-sized truck, be it Ford or Dodge.
Also, if out of a school-bus, they use the engine-mounts on the front and rear of the block, instead of the ones located at center.

Yes, the pan swaps end for end; but, this will not help in making it fit a pick-up-sized truck, as I have already seen several try.
I would not let that keep me from buying that engine if the price is reasonable; one cannot have too many mechanical Cummins engines.
