Message: [QUOTE="me2, post: 409996, member: 3825"] I paid $7K for the 6.7 Cummins. I'll get at least $6K for my 6.4L, if not more. I say that because I have a guy that wants to buy it as soon as its out. I paid $2450 for the 6R140 with TC. I'll get $1500 for my 5R110 and TC. I have someone that wants it too. The S475 turbocharger cost $650, brand new. I probably could have scrounged one from a take out DD S60, but I decided that it was better to start with a new one. So lets say it costs me $2500 in the major hard parts for the swap. I'm building the adapter plate, engine mounts, exhaust manifold and piping. Not much cost there. I'll need some new hoses, wiring materials, fluids, etc. EFI Live cost $900, but a) I needed it anyway and b) 4 of us are using it together, splitting the cost. Ditto with Auto Enginuity, though only 3 ways. It will cost about $150 to do each driveshaft, depending on how much needs to change on each. The microcontrollers that run everything cost $60 each, though I have to put them in suitable boxes. What else is there ? a. I don't trust the reliability of a 6.4, especially when its modded and especially when used for tow duty.

Waiting until an engine is blown is the wrong time to do a swap, in my opinion. Its much better to sell the engine while it runs well, especially when its still in the truck and the buyer can drive it. As fas as I can tell, a used Cummins engine costs the same or less than a used Ford diesel engine, making the engine cost part of the swap nearly zero in most cases. [/QUOTE]
