Cummins in '97 Ford 460

[Kiohio]

Been trying to sell the 97 Ford F350 4x4 for a little while with no luck.

Problem with the truck... . It is almost a cherry, no rust etc. BUT it has 140k on it.

460, auto, 3. 50 gears. All the HD stuff.

What I would like to do.

Put in either a 89-93, or 94-98 12valve into it, with a ZF 5speed, or a 4speed.

This is 2 conversions.

After getting the motor and transmission it "looks" fairly straight forward.

Am I missing something?

I sell OPE and farm equipment, so my winters are pretty slow.

Good project?

Pretty simple conversion with a 12v. Adapters are already made for it.

check out FordCummins.com, I'm not connected with them in any way, just a site I stumbled over.

I swapped my 351 from my F-350 Reb cab to a 97 12V. Do it you won't reget it!

'97 era have the great body style if its not rotted do the swap, ive got a ZF5 for sale if you need one.

Once you make the conversion, what will you do with it? Will you still try to sell it? What I'm getting at, is there much market for such a conversion?
