[QUOTE="whoisbigman, post: 601054, member: 13259"] You might be able to get one in, probably would have to replumb some of the peripheral stuff, intercooler and turbo stuff... brake master cylinder, stuff that isnt necessarily rigidly attached to the motor. The tranny is bigger as is the t-case... 6-spped would be awesome. suspension would require a lot of work. Motor is heavier as is tranny. Anything can be done if you have enough money to throw at it. 7.3 would be way cooler than a 6.4 or 6.7. A better idea might be a smaller diesel... Cummins 4BT would fit pretty easily... good for an easy 400 hp and better fuel mileage, and parts are cheaper. Less computer issues to deal with, also lighter. Suspension would work pretty well. if anything it would be taller in the engine bay but we have plenty of height in there.[COLOR="Red"] [SIZE=1]---------- Post added at 11:46 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:32 AM ----------[/SIZE] [/COLOR]Great, thanks... now you have me thinking.
