What size of engine can the 6.9L replace? I have a 85 Grand Marque
with a defunct 5L engine.

If I'm correct, Ford first used a diesel on their pick up line
on
'82, it was the 6.9liter made by International(Navistar) which
evolved later to the 7.3liter.If a recall allright, it is a
direct
bolt-on swap, those diesel should mate any Ford transmission,
standard or auto (for the auto, the C6 is recommended).The
engine
mounts might be slighlty different, but a visit to the local
Ford
parts dealer should help you find the adequate engine-to-frame
mounts.

Ford did as dodge does. For years ford installed
international
harvester engines in there trucks and vans but represented
them as a ford product. Don’t get me wrong they were good
engines but I never saw a turbo unit. Im not sure when ford
came out with there powerstroke. Dodge has always used
Cummins
ether 12 or 24 valve also very strong good engines.
Good luck Derick

we have a Ford '72 F250 that has really low mileage on it
and
were considering a diesel conversion. how far back did Ford
make diesels for their trucks (assuming that they do.) any
input would be appreciated.

Hi All,
It looks like I´m finally going redneck and buying my first
pickup truck. Of course, it will be a diesel. I was looking
at
used Chevy S-10´s, particularly the double cabin variety as
I
have two small kids. I´m looking for a tough, long lasting
vehicle that I can haul building materials, worm bins,
bagged
vermicompost, and drums of waste oil and ethanol. I´d also
be
using it to get my wife and I to work and the kids to
school.
I´m not interested in something sexy, I married her. I need
a
working vehicle. Any suggestions out there. Of the vehicles
I
saw in the archives, there were things like hybrids that I
really don´t think I need. Any Brazilian pickups that run on
straight ethanol I would certainly consider. It´s just that
I´m planning on generating my own electricity and heating my
house with a diesel generator. It doesn´t really make much
sense to me at this point to go ethanol.
Thanks,
Tom Irwin
