2001 Ford F350 Super Duty Cummins Swap
2001 Ford f350 7.3 PowerStroke
Our Ford truck after 200k miles started to have engine problems. We decided to get another engine to replace the tired 7.3 PowerStroke.
12 Valve Cummins
We are going with a 70k mile 12Valve Cummins with a AFC Live controller. We are using the Diesel Conversion Specialists adapter kit to mate the Cummins to the Ford 4R100 Transmission.
Pulling the 7.3
Pulling the Ford engine was very time consuming due to the placement of the turbo and the cab on top of the motor.
Fitting the Cummins
With the help of the Diesel Conversion Specialists adapter kit the motor fit perfectly into place with minor issues getting the motor over the lower crossmember.
Fitting the Mechanical Fan
We pushed the motor transmission and ddrive shaft back enough to be able to have clearence for the Cummins mechanical fam without having to modify the length of the driveshafts.
Modifying Fan Shroud
We had to trim the Dodge fan shroud to fit the ford radiator and work with our dodge mechanical fan.
Intercooler
We made custom intercooler piping off the Dodge and Ford existing pipes while still using the stock 7.3 Ford intercooler.
Assembly
Once everything was fitted the truck went together easily. We tuned the transmission and the swap was complete.
