Hey now, I see Jersey tags. Where from bro. In the south here. Btween Philly and AC. Nice rig. I have an old 78 250 that I used to mudd. Been wanting to do a diesel swap. Wife wants me to sell it. Yeah right!

warren county. its near the delaware water gap.

Just curious why you'd put a 4 banger diesel in a full size? It seems like the HP is low at estimated 108 and the torque is around 268 which isn't much better than a 4.0l engine in a ranger. I understand gas mileage is nice but why not drop in a 302 or something where you'd have WAY more HP and more torque ?

[timbrink123]

cause thats to original. I like to be a little different. not to many 78's are diesel powerd. Its not a race truck by any means but it runs realy good for a 3.9L

I used 3m duble sided tape. didn't want to screw the piller up. works good enough for me.

sick. finally someones done something good to a ford! shoulda put a 5.9 in tho! in all seriousness, nice clean truck

[Txpsd9673]

I completely understand why you put a cummins in good job BUT why the fuck a 4bt??? with a few mods you could have def fit a full size 5.9 12v cummins in there!!!!! wtf! regardless nice truck

[76fiddycummins]

what do u mean (custom) dodge seats????

unless you narrowed the seats/consule it would b too wide!!!

tell me more .i got a 76 f 250 ,i got a set of 98 dodge buckets and my measure tape says there too wide . what did you do ???

[maxhauler]

Great truck but I think people click dislike because of the music. I never ever want to hear music when I'm looking for cool truck/engine videos. I want to hear technical information or nothing at all. Cool truck tho.

[bigboi1245]

hey what was the fuel mileage in that thing

[godsmack8807]

Sweet truck only complain would be the splitter being in the bed.  But still Kick ass

@4321ramones 78 ranger xlt f trucks had square headlights stock. All lower model 78s had round headlights

[puddlejumper98]

@mixwell1983 I take it you no nothing about engines. Well even at stock power it will out tow a small block all day long and get 4 times the milage. However bump up a little and your talkin some raceing power. You could get 300 Hp and 600 pounds of torque farely easy! K hp on a diesel is twice the power compared to gas. Oh yea it will out live all your rigs put togeather! Understand now? NICE FORD!

Will stay with our 460 bored .60 over to a 472 with a huge lunati cam headers aluminum intake and heads ya it is just fine for us granted not as good on gas but sure is fast especially in our 79 F250 supercab but its only two wheel drive.

@Txpsd9673

Most people who do swaps don't want power. A 4bta provides enough power and better mileage than a 6bta usually does.

[william38022]

how do you get motor to bolt up to tranny where could i go to get started??

[DaltonDvorak]
