I dunno how well it would pull an F150. Probably be severely undergeared, unless you swap axles. Most guys going that route do a Fummins swap instead.....Cummins into a Ford.

But a Ranger....now that might work.

I had a thought on the way home.. If I want to do a motor swap its a 603 into a w201 and go superturbo

Banter and Clutter are normal. It's how we thrive.

OH, I'll throw this out, Don. I found some Cummins engines in case you need a bigger diesel engine.

I have got myself into a project with my nephew installing the engine and trans out of a 87 300sdl into his 67 f100. The truck has 3.23 in the rear end so it should run out very well.

You can't do much with just an engine.
