WTFind: Something to drop a 7.3L in

My cousin got into a accident with his F-250. The motor and trans are fine.
Needless to say. I now have a 7.3 turbo with 5 spd trans to put in something.

Looking for an older ford 80s or older
maybe a 5.0???

Suggestions are welcome

in for ideas… lol.

Go cart? New Boss hoss to make jacks bike look like a 250.?

To heavy for a 5.0 . There are a couple threads on the corral of the weight difference and it is just to heavy to overcome .

I don’t THINK it would fit, but try shoehorning it into a Wrangler. People drop decent sized V8s in those things all the time. I know a Chrysler 5.9 fits in one of those things with plenty of room to spare, so this might, but maybe not.

my dads f 250? lol which is for sale btw :slight_smile:

CRX.

Put it in my MKII Supra, it’ll fit, lol

Wrangler would be cheap and badass

What year motor?
Do you have a t-case too?

Salvage as much off of the donor truck as you can, the entire fuel system would be critical. Convert whatever it is to vegetable oil, it will be a million times more badass.

^did you see my boss hoss reference…

it was solely for you.

dude i just got rid of a neon shell

:cry:
Sold. Sorry, I forgot to comment on it, yes I saw it :slight_smile:

BTW - A 7.3L Makes about 230hp… and weighs about 2x what an SBC does. :slight_smile:

^ I assumed it wasnt a good fit for any “go fast” application… why would a bike need 400 ft/lbs tq. :lol:

Its kinda like why put anything other than a 1000cc motor in a bike :wink:

<3

Its a 97 F-250
The whole truck is there so I’m set
I’m pretty sure its got a different / newer turbo on it also

ninja 250?
