Did you ever get around to doing the 7.3 swap in your 97 Chinook? Looking to do the same and would be great to learn from someone who did it 😉

Theres a company called MGmetalworks, they installed a cummins engine with an allison transmission and four wheel drive on a later model E-350 extended van. You should try that instead.

I ended up buying

a 2000 concourse with a 7.3 diesel. I then converted it to 4x4. I love this vehicle and they will probably bury me in it. I sold the 97 side entry.

Mark, your coach looks great. The aluminum wheels, the redone graphics, the stance...
Ever thought of replacing the refrigerator grate?

mark. quick question. did you like your side entry over your current back entry? if you could choose between both with 7.3 what would you go through since you have had experience in both? thanks again for your time .
