    In theory it will run but make sure the camshaft, cr, and injectors match the ecm build or have custom tuned. This build. It’s a lot of work to change the entire front gear train and housings, but (less 80ish cubic inches and a set of injectors and turbo) that would match perfectly with the factory 6067HK60 14L non-egr calibration. Yeeehaw. Off-road, not-for-hire use only. You are not allowed to do this to a commercial on-highway unit, legally.

    Timing sensors would need to be changed or plugs converted to the 14L harness plugs. PWM shielded wires should not be spliced.

    Not sure there's a reason for a cam shaft adapter if you use the dd5 14 liter cam that came with the motor what's to adapt basically your just swapping out the head and the electronics

    did you ever get this done? How did it work with the timing sensors? I have a ddec six I am working on converting back to a ddec 5 to run in a 379 I am debating on buying a. Wrecked ddec 5 and installing the front housing and gear train just to Aleviate the use of the adaptor
