re: Any of you baws ever heard of switching a 6.0L diesel Ford over to a 5.4 gas?

Many 6.0's have been "bullet-proofed" (fix the long list of issues they had) and live a long good life... not cheap or legal but it works. If motor was blown many have been swapped to Cummins diesels (if looking to not put the original 6.0 motor troubles back in), but installing a gas engine is unusual.
