A 1990 Ford 7.3L diesel engine works by using a very high compression ratio to ignite a mixture of air a diesel. Unlike gasoline engines, it requires no spark to actually ignite the fuel.

Will a 7.3 liter diesel engine fit in a 1975 Ford truck?

You can fit any engine in any vehicle . If you have the time and effort, it is called customizing. The 7.3 engine will need mounts built or removed from 88-94 ford truck. Exhaust may rub on firewall or steering shaft and have to be relocated. At least the 7.3 came from a Ford truck and going into one too. Will need a diesel rad, all the accessories from the diesel engine. Probably the biggest challenge will be making power brakes work. Will either convert to a hydroboost or install a vacuum pump.

Where can you find a 1960's model ford pickup with a diesel motor in it?

Diesel engines were not a factory option until the late 70s, so if you find a 60s pickup with a diesel, it has been switched after it left the factory. Installing a diesel engine in a 60s model Ford pickup would not be the easiest conversion, but it could be done. Motor mounts would probably have to be fabricated, and you would probably have to change out the transmission, also. Best to find an engine/transmission combination that has already been proven to work together. The other consideration is finding a diesel engine with the horsepower and torque necessary for the truck.
