Ford F250 Cummins Swap "Fummins" Build, Part 1

This was A LOT of fun: Our 1st Ford Cummins swap! We like to call it our "Fummins." We took a 2000 Ford F250 with a tired Powerstroke and ZF6 six-speed manual transmission and installed a 24-valve Cummins that we harvested out of a school bus. The Cummins is outfitted with 100hp oversized injectors as well as a fluid dampener, custom intercooler pipes, and our HD High mount bracket kit available here: adventurevehiclesnw.com/shop/....

That’s a cool build but I think it would have been more reasonable if you swapped the Cummins into a unreliable 6.0 or 6.4 liter truck. The 7.3 is just as reliable as the 24v in my opinion.

Awesome! I have a v10 excursion I’m wanting to put a 5.9 in.

I just want to know who would dislike this video. It is a great video

​@Jonesys how much is a 06 swap

[@bryanmitchell5728]

Wow !!!! Very cool.

[@fordmuscleluis9710]

I'm wondering what the difference between this Industrial Cummins engine and a Dodge pick-up application in terms of conversion kits and parts

[@smallblockfuelie]

Cool project! That air ride will be nice.

[@Jonesys]

Appreciate it!

[@jenkins5824]

Very cool!

Thanks appreciate that

[@jimkillen1065]

Nice job on the conversation. I was thinking about adding a fluid damper to my truck also . Your thoughts on the damper, thanks .

[@williamfrost7712]

What changed your mind on using a different alternator?

[@Legendsofthelawn]

Wait...So you can just swap to a GV style head on the compressor and the AC lines will just bolt on? Theres no need to have new ends lines made?

Do you sell motor mounts and any wiring harness thks

We don't sell the intercooler pipes but I have a video that shows you how I built them with our high flow Air horn kit adventurevehiclesnw.com/shop/diesel-conversion-parts/chevrolet-gmc/73-87-chevy-truck/cummins-high-flow-diy-air-intake-horn/

[@dante04srt]

How do you like the fit/accessibility of the Cummins in the SD chassis as opposed to the GMT400 chassis? I had an 05 F350 prior to buying my 98 K3500 and had determined that fitting a 5.9 in the SD engine bay would be a heck of a lot tighter than in a different platform. The SD is a great, strong platform and the cabs are nice and roomy but they really shoehorn the engines in there.

[@Jonesys]

There is a lot more room around the Cummins in the SuperDuty than there was around the 7.3L Powerstroke. I would never try one of these swaps without removing the cab. With that said the Cummins fits great in the SuperDuty chassis. One of the pros of the Ford Cummins swaps is that you already have an intercooler which is a challenge in the GMT400 platforms. Thanks for the comment.

Diesel Conversion Specialists has a kit. Don't forget to beef up your front coils Diesel ways 400 pounds more than 5.4

Very cool What do you think about changing one piston (6th) wich was damged because of the rise of heat ? In cummins 6bt 5,9 12v

Yes I'm hoping to get back on the Waggy soon.

Now that you've done both, which one was easier? The Ford or GM?

They both have there pros and cons.
