Engine/Transmission (1994 - 1998) 5.9 Marine CPL ??

[FordCummins]

Ive been a long time lurker here, and am finally getting ready to swap a 96 5. 9 into my 99 F350SD. This forum as well as the Cummins conversion forum have been very helpful so far, and now I have a few questions. I am going to rebuild the motor and o-ring the block while it is out of the truck and am going to order a rebuild kit from Cummins. I plan on running 370 injectors and was told by several individuals who are diesel techs that running marine pistons will be more efficient than using automotive pistons. Does anyone have a marine CPL for a 96 5. 9 that I can use to order a rebuild kit and get the right pistons at the same time. Thanks in advance.

Use CPL # 2208, that's is for the 370HP marine engine..... although you'll have a tough time ordering parts with just a CPL #, Cummins like a serial number as well, use 45432843

Thanks a bunch, I really appreciate it. And Piers, I will be in touch about a turbo.

Does anyone have any experience running the Marine pistons with 370 injectors? Any noticable smoke decreases? Since the bowl is matched to the spray pattern of the 370 injectors I figure it will be a more efficient burn. Just looking for any more feedback on this setup. Thanks.
