Figured it was a good time to start my new build. Will add pictures later when I get back to the computer.
Little background info,
Sold my 01 ECSB 5.4 in search of a crew cab 7.3. After looking for a while an not being able to find anything I liked that was reasonably priced I picked up a 2000 F350 SRW Crew Cab Short Bed with 248k. Its an XLT with gray cloth interior. 5 seater with console in the middle. 7.3 and auto.
Being in the northeast most trucks were rusty and would have needed oil pans at some point anyways so I figured what the difference of taking a motor out to do the oil pan or to drop a different motor in :grin:
The donor truck an E99 ECLB 7.3 with the ZF6 with 168k miles. Was a buddies truck that was in an accdent that I originally bought to part out.
Motor should be getting swapped in this weekend then once I know its running and the trans is good it will be getting the fun stuff.
Feel free to add input on the mods, will add more later as I think of it.
I do a good amount of driving, 20-30k a year and want to make the truck perfect and as comfortable as possible.
