Default Cummins swap?

No 4bt 6bt already bought a 99 f250 gonna use those axles and suspension for the 150 gonna be 4x4 looking at a 94-98 with the p7100 pump. Probably gonna need an upgraded tranny as well. Looking for a super crew 6.5 bed. My question is will this fit in the engine bay. The engine is 40" long one way or another ill make it fit just curious if I'm gonna need to play with the fire wall or if this will just be all snuggled up in ther maybe a body lift to help for clearance?

I have seen those as well but I'm looking to put it in a 06-08 which I believe the 04-08 body's are all the same they changed it from the 03 style but since they have the same motor I'm hoping the engine bay is similar in size

I think the 04-08s had the 5.0 rather than the 5.4. It should be big enough though. It should be plenty for the 3.9 4BT though.

I know the 4bt would fit no problem the 6bt is only 9" longer but I'm worries about those 9" Plus a bigger radiator and intercooler.

If it could fit the 97-03 then it should fit if it was in the 5.4. Only issues would be electronics if you go 24v rather than the 12v
