I don't know if anyone makes a kit for that, but Chevy V-8s have been put in VW bug convertibles. Paul Newman (the actor) had one. It was installed in the back seat and I heard was unbearable to drive with the noise and heat. (Even with the custom firewall and housing around the engine) Company that did the install said they can put almost anything into anything, question is, how much money do you want to spend. I am sure putting a Cummins in the F250 would not be a very difficult install for a capable shop. You would have a helluva and one of a kind truck that would be a lot cheaper than buying a new Ram. I would do it if I had both items like you did even if the install costed $4000. Do you have the trans also?? You will need the trans to make it run right, otherwise the gearing will be off.

i have everthing as i have the complete truck it was hit very hard in the side behind the cab(nearly bent in half). I have a customer who has a cummins in his ford he bought the mounts but can't remember from where except it was a business in texas. Lucky for me we have a complete machine shop so i can make them if i have to but thought it might be easier if i could buy them.

That is a easy swap, esp. if the Ford is a diesel,(not like hiding a RX-7 in a VW Bug).


The motor mount brackets are simple to make,the mounts I used were from "88" Ford 460 gas.
If you would like more imfo. ,you could call me some night. I airport type,(circle-find the letter-land),It would take forever this way!!

You could try to get a hold of Chip at Blue Chip Performance. He has one in both a Ford and Chevy.

I swear I saw a new F150 in Vancouver Wa. a few weeks back that had a diesel in it. I think it was a dark cranberry color. I heard/saw it a few times that weekend, so I know I am not loosing my marbles (yet).
