Have you or anyone done this? Im looking to update to the 2008+ front end on a 2003 with the 7.3 and like the idea of adding an intercooler.
Also anyone have more info in what parts are needed for the front end swap? do you need to change the core support?
Thanks for your Time!

You don't need to do the front clip upgrade to use the 6.0 cooling stack. However, it would give you space for an F-series 6.0 transmission cooler.
I've read of some guys trying it, however I don't know what the final outcome was. The hard part is routing the turbo hoses to to intercooler. Some 7.3L guys have gone with water-to-air intercoolers since they can be mounted over the engine. The 6.0 cooling stack mounts in the same space the 6.8L/7.3L radiator takes up.
Ford lists a different core support for the new hood, but apparently you can keep that and just drill new hole to remount the latch.
