6.0 common rail

bigdirty · Feb 15, 2012

Has it been done? Can it be done? would you be able to use the 6.4 fuel system?

y wouldnt you just do a 6.4 swap?lol

I thought about this the other day. It just seems like it would be a waste of money. Much cheaper to just upgrade to a 6.4 which is basically a reengineered common rail 6.0.

The CR 7.3 I can understand why it is being done.

International has built a 6.0cr engine. They decided to go heui. Can it be done yes. it would be a 1 off. I don't think anyone has done it. Doug on psn often eluded to the existance of a 6.0 cr flash part# from ford and that a 6.4 injector can be bolted in. I would start at square 1 vs using the 6.4 stuff and build it right. The 6.4 seems to have some problems in the fuel system from the factory.

I think the general consensus was it could probably be done, but at what cost? Probably a lot more money than just going and buying a driving running 6.4....

A 6.4 Injector will bolt down on a bare 6.0 head but hits the rocker carrier and requires a different cup....not to mention the 6.4 pump doesent even remotely fit or line up to the 6.0 pump mounts in the block

It has been done by both Ford and International. It was abandoned due to the relationship between International and Sturman, the G2 injector designer/maker. I never got to drive any of the trucks but I heard they were very quick!

Technically it could be done. 6.4 swap would be exponentially easier.

I think its entirely possible.use a cp3 like the dual pump set up for the 6.4,the hard part is driving the 6.4 injector with the 6l hardware.(ficm).

A 6.4 is basically a 6.0 converted to common rail injection...

...plus completely different compression, stroke, bore, wrist pin, pistons.. not quite interchangable

can a 6.4 be put into a 6.0 body?

You can put anything you want in a 6.0 body with the right amount of money.

as always..but is it possible to fit the motor in the bay without any crazy fabrication to the frame?

windrunner408 · Feb 18, 2012

I would think it would be easier to put a 05-07 front end on an 08-10 truck and be cheaper than doing a 6.4 swap. JMO.

MorganY · Feb 18, 2012

Lol you have to buy the truck first!

Working on that 6.4 has those little wheels in your head spinning the wrong way huh LOL?!?

The amount of work it'd take to do the conversion probably wouldn't be worth it. You'd end up wishing you just went to a dealer and picked up a 6.4 and drove it home.

Of course. I was referring to buying the truck and selling the 6.0 truck. IDK if it would cheaper but I am pretty sure it would be easier and the interior would be better. JMO.

Yes. Motor fits just fine. Harnesses, lines, etc take some time.

Lubbockguy1979 · Feb 19, 2012

The 99-20xx bodys are pretty much the same. That is why so much from 7.3, 6.0, 6.4 and 6.7 era all interchange. There are only subtle differences and frame differences really. As a disclaimer they are not the exact same but fairly close. So it would stant to reason you could swap what ever motor in and likely use all stock parts to do it
