I have an '86 CC, F350 4x4 that I bought a couple of years ago. It has the 6.9 IDI diesel, 4 spd combo. The IDI is a great engine, but takes a while to get up to speed. With 311k on the clock, it's just beginning to puff a little blue smoke. Nothing that's going to keep the mosquitoes away, but it's letting me know that an overhaul is in its near future.
Tonight, I took possesion of a wrecked '95 PSD, 5 spd F250 4x4. The plan is to pull the 7.3 PSD, 5 spd, t-case, dash, wiring harness, front seats, door panels, and a few other odds and ends and swap them all into the old crew cab. The PSD needs a new fuel pump, but is otherwise fine.
I haven't turned any wrenches yet, but will be getting started soon. Are there any upgrades regarding the fuel pump since it has to be replaced anyway, or is a stocker just fine? I won't be going wild with engine mods, but a few power upgrades are in its future.
I'll keep this thread updated, including pics. If this isn't the appropriate forum for this tale, please move it accordingly.

The old 6.9 IDI still runs well, but I want more power.

The 7.3 PSD to be transplanted
