Got a sweet deal on a cummins today

[2000 7.3 6speed]

I got a 1990 cummins short block toady with 90,000 miles today

for a set of rims i got for free and $75.

i love the powerstroke but its too expensive to build big power out of it.

but i looking at a cummins swap in a ford in the near future

There are some people on the forum, & many resources to help you with a Ford/Cummins hybrid. You might have to do some cutting, welding, & fabricating, but's it's been done over & over. One person in particular is ONEBIGDOOFUS. He's got a whole album of his Ford/Cummins swap. Check it out!

sweet deal. only bad thing is the older cummins had very low hp #'s from stock so it takes a little bit to get em going.

They're non-intercooled too, right? His best bet would be to look for a '94+ Cummins 12v for a swap.

Also the 90 has the VE pump, where the '94+ has the P7100

i just wish i could drop a 24 valve in my 85 chevy, however no $$$$ to make a pulling truck out of it though

I wish i could of got a newer one but everyone on the cummins forum says a lot of the stuff from the newer 12 valves will fit on the block. so now i just got to find a truck to put it into

Yeah, all the new 12V stuff bolts on (from What I've seen/heard.)
Just makes a performance buildup a little more pricey.

If all you have is the short block anyhow though the sky is the limit, you could put the 24 valve head on it and the p7100 pump hell if you are building it build it up right.

yea i was thinking about that but... every thing would be a lot more expensive and all the computers and stuff I'm sure ain't cheep. but it would be nice though.
