'83 8.1L Crew Cab!

[Ryan B.]

My friend kevin (k5tpi) found my '04 6.0L for me, so i felt obligated to find him a killer engine for his diesel tow rig...

2003 8.1L with 26K miles.

The research made it seem like it was gonna be easy, but actually swapping the 8.1 in required some hours of massaging everything to get it to drop into place.

Now if we could just figure out the wiring.

Nice, did he get as good of a deal as you?

Awesome work! Looks great. I'd love to have something like that.

need to try and graft a new dash and steering column in that bad boy then it would probably feel a lot better. Awesome man.
