Our project truck

[lukecline]

Im just curious, why not go with the common rail instead of the 24v vp44?

Looking for 600hp reliable daily driver. This motor will do that pretty easily and the price was much less than the highly sought after common rails.

 

[lukecline]

are you planning on twins or a big single?

 

[bears4x4]

no offence

not trying to be rude but if you want a ford get a ford ,great if you want a dodge get a dodge , but why mix . just to say you did it it when others already have , then it would be a wasit of time ... but what the helkl when you have money sure why not i guess????????

I kinda agree with Luke, CR is the way to go for this type of conversion

But I wouldn't do it to begin with, I like my 7.3 too much

Bears... the cummins is the better engine and the ford is the better body/ chassis so why not mix and match to get the best truck PERIOD.

makes sense, i dont know much about dodges so ill give you that, they all have there good points . motors here, trans there, chasis, another from some where else , its all about money i guess from the manufac's....

its all in the goal of the best truck right ?

Why mix? They are already mixed. The Ford runs a International engine and the Dodge runs a Cummins engine. Dropping a Cummins in a Ford makes perfectly good sense to me. On the other hand I would not drop a Dodge engine in a Ford but I would not hesitate to drop in a Cummins. I would seriously consider it if I had a complete engine failure.

We had to make some custom bracket to attach the Ford alternator and AC compressor

You can get all the brackets at FordCummins.com. They make or offer all the necessary brackets, motor mounts, adapter plates and hardware needed for the swap.

well, that's a good valid point

and, well... uh...

kinda like the R134a thread... as long as you have it available why switch to a "substitute?"
