f250 swap or not well as it goes i lookin into swaping to a 6.0 from a truck. my 5.4 is under powered and does not have the tire sredding power i am after. i can find a 6.0 in every other car truck out there . is it do able? will this 6.0 give me the power i want? the wife has a 6.0 in her gmc 2500 and it goes . or should i put all my cash into the 5.4?.. or get the cummins. to swap more cost and work involved help me out ? my truck is a 99 f250 5.4 4x4 with 12inch lift 40x16.5x16tires 5.88 gears stock 03 f150 motor
I agree. I love swaps, but for your goals I don't think it would be cost effective. In this case I even think modding the 5.4 would work out better than a swap. Not that I wouldn't like to see one more bowtie under the hood of a Ford.
I would swap in a p pump 12v cummins. Plenty of power and easy set up with very little wiring. I have a 07 ram 2500 4x4 with the 6.7 and love it. I also have a 03 2500 4x4 6.0 Silverado and it leaves something to be desired. The Silverado weighs less than my ram and it just cant get it done as well. I wish it had another 200ftlbs of torque. It becomes very apparent when towing 12k or so.
