    CAN-BUS & Diesel to Gas swap.

    Hello everyone, I'm doing a gas to Diesel engine swap on A Ford E-series van.

    The van being converted to diesel is a 1997 Ford E350 with the V10.

    The donor vehicle is a 2008 Ford E450 cutaway with the 6.0 diesel.

    I plan on moving the engine, trans, instrument cluster, all wiring, etc from the 2008 van to the 1997 van.

    The 2008 van is CAN-BUS equipped. Will this cause a problem for me?

    Thanks in advance.

    It should not be an issue so long as you move everything over.

    Thanks for your response.

    The only thing I can think of is the rear axle ABS that might be different.
