I have a 2000 F-650 work truck. The original engine is a 5.9 Cummins. Last week the mount for the injector pump separated, trashing the pump. I don't know what havoc has been wreaked in the gear train. So for now I've just parked the truck until I figure out what to do with it.
It has an automatic transmission and is licensed at 26K, so a CDL isn't needed. It has always been an underpowered dog on the road.
My question for those in the know is; how difficult, or feasible would it be to put an 8.3 motor in it? I know lots of diesel pusher RV's used them. Are transmissions interchangeable? What about motor mounts?
If anyone has any advice, and I know everyone has an opinion, I would like to hear it.
