Engine swap 86 F250 gas to diesel

Oct 18, 2006 3 Replies

I am interested in rebuilding my 6.9L Navistar engine and while this is happening, to put the engine into a nicer truck body of the same year. I also would like to put a 4 speed standard transmission in the rig instead of the C6 auto tranny. Is this worth doing, or should I just buy another diesel truck? But more importantly, are the mounting systems compatible from gas to diesel of same era.



thanks

Seems like it would be easier to buy what you want.

Much Much easier, and much much cheaper....

it must be possible. I have a '86 F350 with a chevrolet 6.5 diesel and it fit without too much problems. see this link for ideas.
