Diesel swap

Diesel swap
Anybody on here got info on doing a diesel swap on a 03 f150? I've seen some builds wit the 4bt Cummins swap but nothing else.
this is my plan or build idea.
I wanted to do a diesel swap for a long time but I was wondering if it was possible if a 7.3 powerstroke or a 5.9 cummins 12v/24v would fit? I've seen a lot of 4bt f150 swaps but never a 7.3 or 5.9 platform been done yet.
currently at the moment I'm in search of a rollover powerstroke or a Cummins.
this is my plan or build idea.

You would be hard pressed to fit a 7.3 in there. A 5.9 might go in the space alright. I'm assuming you are going to a manual trans?

Yeah I'd think it would be way to tight to stuff a 7.3 in there... and if you can make it fit, can you work on it? Don't wanna have to pull the engine every time you need to do basic maintenance.
And just cuz it fits, doesn't mean you should stick it in there that goes for more than just your truck too, that's some good life advice lol

I was looking to do the 4x4 swap but am having difficulty locating the other posts on this swap because i know it has been done. Anybody is welcome to throw out their ideas... Honestly thinking it cannot be done with a short bed single cab without moving the tank or swapping frames
