Anything can be done: Powerstroke Swap

I was browsing through a local offroad messageboard and came across a build thread for a guy that swapped in a 7.3L Powerstroke into a 99 F-150. He also converted it to a Dana 60 front and Sterling 10.25 rear along with some suspension lift. I'd link to the build thread but you have to be a member to read it. Here's a video of it running:

Farm boy fab has a cummins in the green solid axle truck. That is the older 7.3 so no intercooler system so that probibly aided in the install.
