    Rebuilt 7.3 heads

    Here are some pics, heads were rebuilt by Indian Creek machine shop, new valves, springs and knurled guides. There is a little bit of surface rust but otherwise still look pretty good.

    Aftermarket air filter-- how best to route CDR gasses?

    I got fuel/oil rated 1" hose from a hydraulic supply shop. It is a little pricier than heater hose, but it won't get all spongy and start seeping oil every where. I ran the hose from the CDR on the valve cover to a home built catch can and then to a 1" 90* elbow on the intake. I shaved the...

    Front clip swap?

    You will need a diesel core support but the rest of the body parts can come from any 92-96 truck. I put a 95 clip on an 85 truck and it bolted on. The only odd spot was by the bottom of the front pillars but not sure if that would be an issue on a brick nose. Your current bumper might...

    Rebuilt 7.3 heads

    Have a set of 0 mile rebuilt heads from a 1990 7.3IDI. Heads were rebuilt due to believed blown gasket, only to find cavitated cylinder. Heads were torqued on block and removed, never fired. Been stored inside for the last few years, paid $600 for rebuild, out of the IDI game but would rather...

    Idi-t flywheel advise

    I probably could have lived with it, but I could tell something was off and I didn't like the shifter wobbling in my hand. Vibrations like that can hurt things given enough time.

    ATS 088 Custom Intake. Where to connect CDR tube?

    This is how I routed mine. I had the 093 valve cover with the CDR attached, ran the hose to a catch can and then back to the intake. It worked pretty good, it caught a lot of oil that would have otherwise gone through the intake.

    Idi-t flywheel advise

    I'm surprised you dealt with it that long. I accidentally put a turbo flywheel on a non turbo motor and drove it down the street once before pulling it back out.

    Freshly surfaced flywheel for 6.9 in Idaho.

    I have an OEM flywheel from a 1986 F-250 with a 4spd. It has just over 100k miles of use. It was just resurfaced 2 weeks ago. We are doing a 5spd swap and my buddy accidentally had this one redone instead of the 5spd unit. Only asking $30, would rather not ship. Located in Kuna, Idaho.

    6.9 tach died

    Have you tried taking the tachometers apart? The tachs in the 80-86 trucks are fairly notorious for failing. If you remove the back and look at the circuit board, there may be a yellow goo covering most of the soldered connections. I guess as time goes by it spreads and becomes somewhat...

    An old friend: Build Thread.

    We got the old gas tanks pulled and compared them to the diesel tanks. The fuel lines are the same size so we just replaced the lines from the motor to the switch valve since they route differently at the front. We also pulled the sending units to find that one cone was still in good shape and...

    An old friend: Build Thread.

    The interior is all in except the dash and a few odd bits. We will need to find some caps to fill in the seat belt holes that are on the OBS window surround panels though. We will continue to use the lap belts in the rear. We finally sealed the OBS windows in and bolted them down as we kind...

    An old friend: Build Thread.

    Wow, it's been awhile since we were able to work on this truck. My buddy ended up buying a car he used to own so we got sidetracked with that. I am going over tomorrow to begin installing the wiring harness and I believe he has most of the interior put in as well. We also got a ZF to put in...

    Seats

    Heed these warnings, I installed a bucket/console combo in a bench seat truck and spent a day last year welding up all the cracks that were created by it. My buddy just found a crack last week that we missed last year. Here is a link to the build thread with a pic of the floor...

    Solid Flywheel Differences?

    I can tell you from personal experience, it is VERY noticeable. Thanks to that little mishap, I got to check "install ZF twice in one week" off of my bucket list. :puke:

    7.3 idi NON turbo exhaust question!!

    The old Flowmasters are the best, the new ones just don't sound as tough. It's not really that easy to just find them though.

    Moonvisor repair question

    It's really easy to add lights to a regular visor. I just took some measurements, got some LED lights from the auto parts store and cut holes with a dremel. I know it's not the normal light pattern, but to heck with normal...nothing about my truck is normal anyhow. :D

    Borg Warner return line hats/caps

    I bought a borg warner kit about 5 years ago. I am still using the caps although I did upgrade to viton o-rings. I did notice the price had doubled since I bought my kit, I was wondering if it had come down yet.

    Because I don't get enough attention already.

    The description I saw said it is limited to 4lbs, I guess I will need to find a stronger cross bar. The feet are pretty sturdy so I think they will hold up. I am sure my light weighs less than 20lbs so I should be able to make it handle that with ease as the weight will also be spread towards...

    throttle cable

    That's odd, I will have to check that out. I am swapping a 6.9 in place of a 460 and the cables looked different lengths to me.

    Because I don't get enough attention already.

    Looks like I may not have to fab anything. I just scored one of these for $60 from CL. I used this brand before on a 1979 F-150 and never had an issue and the PO already had it setup to fit a full size ford truck. The cross bar may be a bit weak if the light is too heavy but I can always...

    throttle cable

    The gas cables are much shorter than the diesel cables as well.

    Due to the weather and holidays the build has been going slower than anticipated but we are still committed to doing it. I'm not sure about those stacks, they are about level with the cab roof. My friend who had it last installed them. You get it. ;Sweet That made my day. :rotflmao
