Strato_54 Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 I know what you're thinking, yes this is a Nissan pathfinder forum and I'm talking a bout a powerstroke. But just wait. I'm a ford guy and always have been. I love the powerstrokes and know more about them then most people should. But just today i found out they didnt only have the 6.7L. They also make a 3.0 v6 for the F-150. Now the first thing i thought was holy crap how did i not know about this. then the next thing i thought was..... Would it fit in the R50 engine bay. From what i can see its not an enormous engine but its still out of an f150. I wanted to know if anyone knows anything on this engine and its size and if i could Frankenstein a pathy.

Slartibartfast Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 First I'd heard of that too! They're new enough that I'd expect the computer and the smog equipment to be a right pain to work with. I wasn't able to find any dimensions on the engine, but if you find one at an auction or even a dealer that doesn't mind you wasting their time, you could take a few measurements of your own. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TroyButler Posted July 21, 2019 Share Posted July 21, 2019 Funny I had similar ideas since every scrap yard around me is littered with fords... maybe not a good sign though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And if you just did a direct transfer of the exhaust sensors it should be fine i think. Might have to try it out here in the next year or 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjotrainbrain Posted July 22, 2019 Share Posted July 22, 2019 Are you talking about that DEF stuff? It's pretty popular to delete that system on the 6.7, I'm sure it would be easier/cheaper to just do that (if a company has a solution for the 3.0 yet) and run a simple custom exhaust.
