2012 6.7 PS motor in 2008 F450 KR, Would you buy?

[schillster1]

I have a friend who is selling his 2008 F450 crew cab King Ranch truck with 88k miles. Last year his 6.4 went out and they swapped out motors with a 6.7 PS motor. He says it was a simple bolt up install. The DPF is disconnected. The new motor has around 20k miles on it. Truck is clean and he wants around 26k. Great price but a little scared about the conversion. Opinions.

Any pics of the setup? I figured it would be a lot harder than just bolting it up

All the computers would also have to be changed to. And I gotta believe the computers for 6.7L were all looking for different sensor that what a 2008 truck has. So there would have to be some kind of tunner involved to shut off the sensor.

I mean you have total different style injectors, different turbos etc. I'm no guru on engines, But I gotta believe your computers have to match the engine But if it's running good. Then who ever did the switch, probably figured all this out.

I would have to see it to believe it.

And I'm sure the wiring harness would be totaly different. That is something
I would like to see.

That would be a monumental engine swap. Computers, harnesses, who knows??
