Bruce Amacker Posted September 30, 2008 Share Posted September 30, 2008 What kind of project? Re-power or teardown for experience? Does it need to be a running unit? Good ones start at $2500 on Car-part.com. Good Luck! /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grin.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce Amacker Posted October 1, 2008 Share Posted October 1, 2008 its for a re-power doesnt have to be running will rebuild if i have to trying to stay away from 2003 though Tell us about your repower project- What type of vehicle is this going into? Are you sure you want to invest a large amount of time and money into a 6.0 repower? /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grin.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robp823 Posted October 2, 2008 Author Share Posted October 2, 2008 its going into a 96 f-250 extended cab long bed 4x4 well im trying not to invest that much money into it i figure if i can get a bad one or piece one together from parts i have collected it would be cool. i was thinking 12 valve but everyone and there cousin has done that swap plus 6.0 does have some nuts like the sound of a v8 diesel better anyway /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/grin.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mchan68 Posted October 2, 2008 Share Posted October 2, 2008 Stupid question. WHY in the hell would you go to all that trouble and work to install an absolute piece of garbage engine like the 6.0L, if this vehicle was already equipped with the much more robust, not to mention RELIABLE 7.3L?

robp823 Posted October 3, 2008 Author Share Posted October 3, 2008 o dont get me wrong i love my 7.3l just thought it would be cool to try something diffrent besides alot of the problems that you have with the 6.0s can be avoided for instance head studs, egr block off and non vgt better turbo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrunoWilimek Posted October 3, 2008 Share Posted October 3, 2008 You would need a donor truck to make the swap easier, as there are wiring harnesses, the fuel delivery module, fuel lines, fuel tank, etc., etc., that are different from the 7.3 to the 6.0. A donor truck with a good frame would be even better, as you would only have to mess with a cab and box swap, and all that entails, but that's only my /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/2cents.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robp823 Posted October 4, 2008 Author Share Posted October 4, 2008 yes very true thanks for the input Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrunoWilimek Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 I am not now, or likely in the future thinking of getting a diesel truck. I would, however, take a 6.0 over a 6.4 any day. There are some interesting videos on u-tube from a guy who claims to be able to fix them up better than new. His website is http://www.powerstrokehelp.com and one of his videos can be seen at I don't know him or exactly what he does to the 6.0 other than head studs, but he does have a point on the 6.0, that once you fix all the known failure points, you can have a reliable engine that will last for a long time. /forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/2cents.gif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shlep Posted October 20, 2008 Share Posted October 20, 2008 Good point Bruno, I think the 6.0 has a lot of potential to be a strong long lasting engine once repaired properly. I've been looking for a newer truck to pull my 5th wheel and a 6.0 is looking pretty good at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
robp823 Posted October 23, 2008 Author Share Posted October 23, 2008 came so close to getting an 06 6.0 truck engine off ebay for 650.00 with brand new heads cause the originals cracked above the cups but was outbid at the last minute so pissed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
