Expy diesel conversion?

[bbiljah]

Is a diesel conv possible?

Now that would be a PITA! Just one question, Why?
However, I would do the V-10 conversion in half a heart beat.

I have heard of a 4BT swap, and there are a couple of Expeditions here with the swap done, but I haven't seen the members active in some time.

I've seen duramax diesels in Camaros, so it certainly is possible.

The big thing is the added weight over the front axle. You really need to beef up the front suspension. Everything else is just the normal engine swap headaches that you get whenever you try a project like that.

Yes it can be done and stay all "Ford" if you went the Navistar route. But why?
You would end up with an F250 with 3rd row seating when finished. Why not
just get one from the factory (F250)or get a diesel Excursion?

That would be one nose heavy camaro with a relatively light a$$ end and mega torque.

A little YouTube search found this.

So it should be doable.

I asked/pondered this question long ago and wonder why they didn't do it?
guess the market just wasn't "rich" enough?

I WANT to do it... But I'm poor. And it's my daily.

Well to answer everyones question on WHY, I want to do it ONLY when my 230K engine dies, she runs like a champ now but who knows for how long haha, and the why not just buy a f250, well.. To answer that F250 diesels here in fl run about 8+ grand for a nice one if you are lucky! I mean you can get a old shit bucket for a few grand. I would buy a "parts truck with rear end damage and swap it all out, but I would have to redo all the wiring, suspention, axels, ect, I'm not sure if it would be worth it lol but it wouls awesome as ****!
