So, this is just a crazy idea here, not really too serious about it, but i recently received a little bit of inheritance money. And a couple buddies were talking about their newer f150's and it got me thinking. Would it be possible to swap the new 6.2 gas engine into my single cab 94 f150? if so what would it take to get running properly and safe.

 

Why would you want to put a newer, more complicated, less proven, and more expensive engine in a truck that came with a reliable and cost-effective fuel-injected pushrod motor? I got rid of my '2000 F-150 for that very reason. Now if it were a diesel swap, that's a different story...

Anything's possible though...just takes money.

 

cause its got 411 hp. if i were to do a diesel swap id just buy an old super duty and restore it.

 

you would have to fab up the engine/transmission mounts and figure out all the wiring you will need a different rear end and fuel tanks also. the wiring is the hardest part for me.

 

well. that sounds like alot. i expected it. but i dont have access to a good shop, just my tool set, a jack, jack stands, a cherry picker, and the side of my house. i think im gonna go ahead and scratch that idea. I really want to find a f150 with the centurion conversion, and redo it from the bottom up. but those are slowly but surely disappearing from the face of gods green earth.

 

you can do anything with enough money, time, and know-how.

and you don't have to change rear ends. you just have to make a driveshaft with the right u-joint ends on it because you would have to swap trans too,

the best swap would be a hopped up 12v Cummings hooked to a ZF-5 with a heavy clutch, and 9" rear with a modular center section with a locker and chorme-moly axle shafts with a disk brake kit.

 

i've seen a few for sale near me, and also a crew cab f150.
