    I posted on the previous diesel thread. I'm building my 48 F1 with a 99-03 Ford 7.3L diesel and 4R100 auto transmission. I've measured the 7.3L engine and its about the same size as a 460 big block ford. It will fit in the F1 engine bay easily. There appears to be enough space up front for the radiator, intercooler and a/c condenser. The biggest challenge will be the electrical system for the computer and other engine controls. I'm going to use the wiring harness from a Ford Superduty pickup and modify it for the F1. I have a Ford wiring manual to help me with the wiring of my truck.

    I'll start posting progress when I'm a little further along.
