    I'm looking for information on performing a 5.0L to diesel conversion.

    I am not sure when I can do this, but I will be looking for a 4BT to build, then I can put it what ever when it is done. If it doesn't go in the explorer, maybe the 67 Galaxie fastback that my daughter wants when she turns 16 in 8 years. Gas for the stock 390 in 8 years may not be in my...

    I found this on a forum, sounds like injectors intercooler and turbo are the only money parts, not bad power either. Ok here we go. Denny T ran the Ol' Chevy on the Dyno for me.

    I'm looking for information on performing a 5.0L to diesel conversion.

    Well, I've seen a few rangers with 3.9 BT Cummins in mags. It seems that there is a ton of power in the new diesels, and can be had fairly easy by the way of fuel and turbo upgrades, and they can get great fuel economy at the same time. I like the 302 in it now, but it is horrible on fuel...

    I'm looking for information on performing a 5.0L to diesel conversion.

    Hello, nice to join you all. I am looking for info on a diesel swap like 3.9 cummins, or?, and what performance mods can be done to a 5.0 Explorer. Do these 5.0's have the H.O. firing order like the mustangs? Are they roller cam? Can you use an X303 cam? I will read up on your posts, I am...
