Its been a few weeks but I finally purchased the bus. Took me two weeks to meet up with the guy and get everything taken care of. It was the YMCA's bus so I had to wait until the right person (boss) was available to sign the title. Drove ole Betsy home last night and it ran pretty dang good...

I would like to see the numbers around what Pipewhiner did. Injectors, pushrods, valve springs, and turbo (compound setup). I would also like to have a P pump. I know it sounds typical, but I want enough power and torque to not feel sluggish. The most I would pull would be about 10,000 lbs...

Oh I am ready to buy it. Unfortunately, we are refinancing the house and don't want to move too much money around our accounts until it is complete. And our dang loan specialist keeps giving us the run around and extending our closing date. I would prefer to switch over to a P Pump anyway...

Can you identify the pump?

Alright, I was able to stop by and check out the bus some more, hoping to identify as the motor as the one I need. I spent a good bit of time and was coming up unsuccessful until I went inside and lifted the inspection cover off the transmission tunnel that is next to the driver. I found the ID...

No egr or cat isn't as hard to get by with. That's how my current 6.0 is. I just have been hearing that North Carolina is cracking down on the *** ******s in my area. They take your truck to a delearship and it cannot leave until the truck passes inspection. With a motor swap, I imagine it would...

Good info for the mounts. I wasn't sure if anyone had anything already set in stone for the swap. As for the original truck, well that would Be determined with what truck I can find. My favorite look is 08-10, but I would have a hard time passing NC inspection with no ***. I would prefer to...

Haha guess I need to step up and get a real truck to do this conversion. I'm gonna ride over at some point this weekend and see if I can get some numbers off the motor and pump. As long as it's the dt360, for $900 I'm definitely buying it. Figured I could sell the tranny in the bus and scrap...

I would be down for a F450 but I think it may be a little overkill for my daily purpose. Gearing would be lower than I need. I may be wrong but I thought the 360 didn't come with a P pump. I'm not a roll coal kind of guy so minimal smoke would be preferred. I guess I need to read up on the...

Ok thanks. I'll look in to it. I guess I could always look at a 7.3 truck that has the 4R100 already. I may be converting the front to look like a 2nd gen truck anyway.

I am far beyond "green" when it comes to transmissions, but it seems like that would be a step in the wrong direction. This truck will do some towing...tractors, bobcats, other equipment on the weekends but would mainly be a daily driver. Overdrive would definitely be preferred to keep RPMs...

I keep hearing that there is not a good/easy way to get the 5r shifting properly. I would not be opposed switching to another trans, but the question would be, what trans? Unfortunately, a manual is not an option. The wife said it has to be an auto so she can drive it.

From what I am seeing, I would do a refresh of the motor and the few upgrades to have a reliable 400-500 hp motor...injectors, pushrods, valve springs, and turbo. It would be converted to P pump, and I have been doing some reading on the AFC Live system. Not sure if it is the real deal or not...

Greetings to everyone. I'm a newbie to this forum, but have been searching and searching all of the forum sites looking for an in depth conversion build for a DT360 in a super duty. Ideally, I wanted to put it in a 08-10 model, but being in North Carolina, it will be too much of a pain to pass...
