New Superduty Conversion site 02 F-350 3rd Gen Swap Progress Pics

I am in the process of doing a 5. 9Common Rail conversion on my 02 Superduty and Scott from http://destroked.com/ has been a great help and offers some great parts.

Hmm, no phone #, no physical address, no info on the business itself or its owner. I only see a single webpage, no links other than the email contact. Is there something I missed? What resources are you seeing from this single page?.....



This link will go alot more into detail for you than just a pretty front page: http://www.autoworldmt.com/Page_9.html



Its pretty safe to say the owners Ken and Dawna have more experience than just about anyone here for cummins repowers. Until someone can base their main line business around just repowers and support a full shop from it, I don't think there's much to argue in the way of competition for them.

The web page is only days old, it will be updated with pics from his conversion and progress pics from mine.



I don't believe his intent is to do repowers himself, he is going to offer a complete package for the do-it-yourselfer. I am currently working with him on mine and have gotten his adapter plate for the 4R100 and it is a thing of beauty. He gave me the dimensions for the frame mounts so I could fab them myself or if I elected to I could have bought them from him. So what I'm trying to say is that he is offering a different type of service than Autoworld.
 
Looking forward to seeing more info on the site then. If he's just getting started, that's a whole different deal, wished you had mentioned that from the start. On first impression, I thought this was another one page wonder type site just to get email inquiry/ spam lists etc.



For what its worth, Autoworld does offer do it yourself kits. Kenny has been sending kits out all over the country. A few overseas if I remember right. Keep your options open for tech help. I would be checking with every REPUTABLE converter you can find to get ideas and solutions from. To date, Autoworld and Peak Sales are the only two I've found who have more than a 15 minute of fame history to fall back on. I haven't heard anything about Peak Sales since the owner became ill a while back, so that leaves Kenny at Autoworld to handle the huge market of conversions now.
 
I made the mistake of ordering from Peak Sales from their cumminsstuff.com website. He offers many conversion kits. I talked with John Edwards on the phone and he was super friendly when i ordered. It is true that he is extremely ill, so is his wife. However, the parts he sent me were wrong. I spent weeks trying different things. There was no possible way without drastic machine work to make any parts possible.



The cost would have doubled to fix everything. He replied in an email that he would offer a partial refund but never followed through, so i got totally screwed and will have to start over with a new kit. This started months ago, back in the summer. I had a lot of correspondence with Autoworld, but they never sent the instructions they promised many times. I had to find somewhere else to turn.



I've met Scott and seen his shop. It is more of a factory with more machines than i could imagine what to make with. You get the sense that he can make absolutely any part you need. He was super about letting me check out his truck and answering questions. He took me for a ride in his truck, my dog loved it!



He has plans to weld a heim to his top turbo to keep the intake tube from popping off. The compounds move a lot of air. At about 30% throttle, his trucked moved faster than my modified PSD 7. 3 ever did! Massive potential. Almost everything looks like it was a factory option. A Cummins engine really makes you love the Super Duty even more.



Scott has figured out all of the electrical, even for his 2003 Cummins. He has the Dodge computer tied in to his stock OBDII port and gets no codes. He has his ATS 4R100 shifting pretty much the way he wants, keeping the torque converter locked at low speeds. He has figured out how to make use of the PSD harness and sensors, tying it in super clean like a factory harness to the untrained eye.



After at least 15,000 miles on the conversion he hasn't had any problems. He plans to relocate the oil filter to a remote location since space is cramped with both turbos on the passenger's side of the engine compartment. He fabricated the piping for his turbos and intake. He knows how to make the stock Ford tach work using a stock Ford part number, and showed me the notches that must be cut into the harmonic balancer.



He's great with responses and answering questions, just got off the phone with him. I've read, heard, and experienced many negative things regarding other conversion companies. Scott had the same experiences which led him to fabricate his own parts. Just like Kai said, he really makes things right. Scott used to make some of these parts for other known companies so he's not new to this.



Scott is currently developing flexplates that are about 1/4" thick, sized to use a Ford 6. 0 starter. He said these starters are much more compact and just as powerful. His hope is that it will no longer be necessary to machine the bellhousings on our Ford transmissions, perhaps less cutting off the engine block as well. Unfortunately, mine has already been trimmed for the parts that didn't work. His kits should require less work on the part of the installer. He's also developing a 6. 0 to Cummins conversion kit.



Scott never intended to do conversions or make parts as a business. He's come to realize how popular this swap is and that there is a need for someone to totally figure out every step so that this engine swap is easier for others. He wants to help. I believe Scott is going to become the guy all the Super Duty guys turn to for a Cummins conversion. The quality, service, and knowledge really is that much better than anyone else i've talked to, having dealt with three other known conversion companies.



Keep checking his website for updates. Hopefully my Excursion will be on there in a few months.

I sent Scott an email last week inquiring about his conversions, the next morning he called me on the phone & discussed everything I had questions about. he doesn't sound like a "businessman" Just a good guy that wants to help you out.
 
Scott is a great guy. His website guy should be posting some updated pics of my conversion soon. It won't be long now. His adapter and billet flexplate fit perfect, and with the Ford 6. 0 starter in there you don't have to hog out the 4R100 bellhousing for the starter nose like you do with the other plates out there. Check my pics if you want to see.
