Default Is it possible to make a 6.0 electronic free?

So i wondering if it is any way to make the 6.0 free from electronics?
Please dont judge me..
I done it on earlier GM 6.5s Put a mechanical fuel pump/mechanic injection
So now I wonder if it is possible to do so with the "famous" Ford 6.0 (or should i say, infamous)
I got this ol -07 550 that I kind of want to make a "zoombie" truck, EMP resistant and such
If you have any ideas or knowledge how, please let me know
Are you just out for judging a idea please keep you comment for your self
Thank You

Welcome to the site.

Back in the day, we used to convert old 70's F250 etc over to Cummins and Perkins diesels. Huge amount of work, but cool transformation. Very little electrical intervention. The 6.0, would be enormously expensive given all the module control/engine management needs. There was an old saying in the Harley circles, 'How fast can you make one go'? The answer was, how much money do you have?

Any conversion is possible I'd guess, but the amount of work, engineering, and hard cash needed for a mechanical controlled 6.0 IMO would be off the charts. Not to mention the engine/trans ops hurdles etc that would be a stumbling block.

That said, they do sell a conversion kit to swap a Cummins into the Ford's bay. But going back to a mechanical type fuel system and such, I'd think output power would be an issue from what we're used to in todays offerings..

I don't see how it would be possible. The high pressure oil is PCM controlled, the fuel injection is PCM and FICM controlled, the transmission is TCM controlled. The PCM controls safety aspects of fueling. I agree w/ @Hayapower !
