For a intercooler you might get away with using a 1st gen powerstroke or 2nd gen cummins maybe.

I had long conv with the guy that owned the white one on youtube you see all the time. he actually used the 79 ford axle and the Allison dmax and tc off the new truck like I mentioned. its the only complete one ton ive seen. I think he had to build new cross members from scratch. but it all fit with the stock hood. it was a lb7 model dmax not the lbz. the earlier ford danas sell for about 2k at least.
