'97 Powerstroke Cummins Swap Part One

My buddy Ryan bought this truck a few months ago. While driving her one night pretty hard she got a little hot and either cracked a head or blew a head gasket, and with an already slipping tranny thanks to the dp tuner he decided he wanted to do a 12v swap with a 5spd. So after a few nights and some cuss words this is where were at.

@EasternAggie He purchased a 12v and a south bend clutch. He's waiting on a engine mount kit. He also has to get an intercooler, clutch pedal assy and a few other things. I will get video if i can, but hes in college now and I dont see him vey often.

@MossyOak83

Who's engine mounts is he using? I had good luck with FordCummins. I would just check junkyards for everything else, you really dont HAVE to have an intercooler, I dont at the moment, but Ill prob yank one off of a 7.3 this summer.

@EasternAggie Hes getting the mounts from fordcummins, we know he doesn't need an intercooler, whether it gets one now or later is up to him. He just started his winter break from college, and im probally gonna go out and help him tomorrow, possibly get some video, but i have to get editing software to edit the format the camcorder puts the data in. So it may be a few weeks for a new video.

@MossyOak83

Gotcha. Shoot me an add on Facebook, Jared Lemmons, and if you have any questions about the swap, just holler at me. Shouldnt be much different from my truck to his.

[tchunter48]

if u wanna see a pic of it before the operation started i have a pic of it as my background on my channel

[MossyOak83]

@yz250raceer Yes I agree, and he had a custom 10th tune that was 180hp. Add that plus a lead footed driver and this is what you get.

[yz250raceer]

@MossyOak83 yeah but they aint true horsepower its a great way to blow your motor too if its just all stock like with what your friend done his truck, he was prolly running like a 140 hp tune? i guess
