Ford E-Series vans never received the 3-valve heads---this remains true for all E-Series gasoline engines.

I do agree fly-by-wire throttle control came on about '04.

For these reasons the 5.4...

I believe this engine was standard equipment in that year F-Series. Should be a direct swap but just the long block; sensors etc from the '99 F150 would remain from the original engine.

Re: 6.7L Cummins conversion project

As an adjunct to this thread will you post details of the Optima SEMA work? Maybe a separate thread here or in another sub-forum?

I'd be highly interested seeing these masterful skills working...

Re: 6.7L Cummins conversion project

Anyone seeing his work here along with other creations----its no wonder he's asked to do other projects where his creativity and execution excel.

I kinda think Optima is lucky he's agreed to...

Re: 6.7L Cummins conversion project

If this project were to become a for-profit refit could the speed sensor be relocated to a more accessible spot? That would require machining the trans housing for such a re-location but as a one...

Re: 6.7L Cummins conversion project

Oh, no I didn't think the part was fully functional as printed, that it was merely a prototype prepared to check fit etc for what would be the finished part. I was--and still am--a bit surprised the...

Re: 6.7L Cummins conversion project

I've lost count of the number of times we've said "WOW!!" but let me add one more to that pile! :a1:

Very cool new tool bling---I too am a bit of a tool whore, nothing like something that actually works as we dream it will. Rigid always made great plumber's tools, still do for the most part.

Re: 6.7L Cummins conversion project

I think most of us here can totally identify with that "scope creep" feeling---its epidemic I think? :a1:

Re: 6.7L Cummins conversion project

Re: 6.7L Cummins conversion project

That's an amazingly "cheap" price for a factory complete wiring harness. Nice find and/or detective work rounding it up!

You're probably already aware some of those terminals might be proprietary to whatever vendor made the fuse block or other harness. In that case 10K + aren't tough, the 100 or less almost impossible...
