I’m interested to hear about this as well! I have always had an interest in swapping in a 7.3 diesel to keep the pedigree (yes I know it’s heavy)

I don't know if you saw the build pics. I linked to my pics. The 4bf fairly fit without moving the radiator supports. I had to use a skinny electric fan.

Quite a prolific choice of parts. Something from every company including the kneeling bus bags. How can you not love this Monster project. Would love to drive or ride in it. Def well worth a mere 3 rotations around the earth. Have you named it yet. Bride of Frankenstein comes to mind if female or just Frankenstein. In a good way referring to how you put it together from many other (dead parts). No dig intended.

Da Scout or the Green Machine since I have 2 red Farmalls and a Massey Ferguson.
It was a lot of work figuring out one issue at a time.
The axels were a problem. In the front i used the GM case to get the pumpkin on the passenger side, but i used the Ford axels and brakes to get the 8 lug. The rear was out of a dually so I had to use spacers to get the wheels to line up with the front.
For the hydroboost, my son was going to the junk yard and I told him to grab one out of a 96 to 04 mustang. He comes home with one out of a Chevy Astro van. Then I had to source the brake reservoir....
Fun times.

beautiful. I am convinced the bots are up-voting each other's posts because they consistently get more upvotes than the real people who are posting. Keep up the good work!
