mash on it   +1y
Here's what I have:

1977 C30, 3+3, 454/400/3.73, with about 200K miles on it, its my favorite truck out of (too) many, Fuel mpg REALLY sucks gass (9 on the hwy, SIX loaded), I tow a 12K equipment trailer, and a 4000lb +/- jet boat.

Heres the idea:
1990 7.3 FORD (navistar) diesel, and matching trans a4od? e4od? I already measured the 7.3 and it looks like it will fit, just dont know for sure.
I've seen ford-cummins, gm-cummins, late gm diesel into early gm, etc., I DON'T have a Cummins.
I have driven the 7.3's and they are pretty bullit proof, but never really liked the twin I beam, and the Egronimics of the fords, to me there just too uncomfortable to drive, I like my lazy boy ride in the old 77...
Anyone done this, seen one etc??
Advice, input etc.??
Thanks
Daniel

sounds like a fun project. ive only seen a newer powerstroke in a old f100 and a powerstroke in a jeep. if you decide to go this route, i cant wait to see it.
