Just started gathering parts to swap the 7.3 Powerstroke out of my F-350 Super Duty......



Already got the adapter plate from destroked.com....now I just need to find a motor.


Swapping in either a P pump 12v Cummins, or a common rail Cummins, just really depends on the price.


Hope to have this done by New Years, my friends at CN Diesel Performance in Post Falls, Idaho will be doing most of the work (sponser/friendship kinda deal).

If anyone needs a strong running 7.3 Powerstroke with forged rods, stage 1 injectors, and a custom burned 6pos flip chip, let me know!

The goal is to have a 500-600hp daily driver/pulling machine....Already got a great foundation, being a 1 ton, crew cab, SB, 4x4, 6speed, just need to drop two cyl :D

My ZF6 will be fine. Got a friend running over 700hp thru his stock ZF6, on 40" tires. Been sledpulling for years like that. Just figure a dual disc clutch a season :D

Got a possible line on a twin turbo common rail.....Might have to sell the boat to pay for this....

Wish those toys were mine....I just have an awesome group of friends....


So what I have so far is this:

-215p pump'd 12v out of a '98 Dodge w/ 225k miles
-Fletcher head, fully ported/polished, 60# valve springs
-Industrial Injection dragonfly injectors
-ARP Studs
-Helix 2 cam to be ordered after the 1st of the year
-Going to run a HX35/40 Hybrd for now until I can dial the truck in, then probably get a HTT 66/71/16....hello boost!

You should be able to pull-out tree stumps with your re-rigged truck/powerplant set-up !

But~
I would bet Jim could hook you up with more than twice that 600HP!

When you're finished bring the truck down to PA and we can enter it in our next local Truck & Tractor-Pull event !

I'm working on a serious budget here.....and the truck still has its normal truck duty....towing the toys, and will probably have a pretty large cabover on it....



Thats why I'm pulling in heavy mod....here are the rules and classes for us out here....
