Any body know if it would be too much work to swap out a C-13 for a 3406E in a T800 Kenworth? I have 8 T800's and like the 3406E the best of the electronic engines, I see there are getting to be alot of T800's out there with blown C-13's which I have always heard were junk. Any insite would be appreciated.

I have swapped a KCB C-13 out of a 2005 T-800 and installed a 6TS 3406E. The major issues were moving engine mounts, drive line length, getting coolant, air intake and charge air pipes to line up. Also the p/s pump turns a different direction, you won't get away with using the pump from the C-13 (ask me how I know 
). Also the project I worked on was kind of a nightmare from switching from a 70 pin ECM back to a 40 pin ECM. If I were to do it again, I would update the engine to a 70 pin system.
