Swapping out a 6.9 for a 4.9EFI
Seriously considering removing the 6.9 from my 86 supercab and installing 4.9 EFI with an E4OD from a 1996 F150. Possibly the wrong forum if I expect much encouragement. The 6.9 has a C6 behind it with a GV overdrive attached. It all works fairly well but I am getting rather tired of the noise...- nic55kel

[B]Injector seat cutter[/B]
]Injector seat cutter Can anyone confirm that the correct seat cutter is 17mm X 17mm square cut. The snout of the injector measures 17mm so it seems like a no brainer. But don't want to buy and find out I was wrong. Thanks.- nic55kel

Injector pump cc rating
Have searched to understand what the number 58cc means. Have not found a definite answer. Did a quick calculation and came up with the following: A 58cc pump will deliver 58ccs of fuel per 1000 pump revolutions. Can anyone confirm this? Thanks in advance.- nic55kel

Latest Haul
Came across a wrecked 91 f250 so I had to liberate as much as I could. Get the complete 7.3, ZF, complete dual exhaust (almost new), PW motors, tank switchover etc. etc. Don't think I will go through the trouble of changing to a manual trans Also the dreaded dual mass seems worn out although...- nic55kel

Hello and adventures in cooling a 6.9
Bought this very nice 1986 F-250, C6, GV, 6.9 from a younger guy who had it as a project but had to give up as needed $. Running very hot when I acquired it. Radiator was all scaled up and plugged.
