71 Highboy
Registered User
I have looked at this site over the years but never joined. Til now. I've had my truck since 1974 and after several (3) gas motors, converted it to a turboed 6.9 in 1992. Used the crap out of it over the years, now has a bit over 500,000 on it with very few issues. 2 years ago, I freshened it up top to bottom in the engine room and transmission. I had gone thru a 7.3 and installed it thinking I was doing the right thing. While the 6.9 was out I put 400 miles on the 7.3, but was not happy. So I went thru the 6.9 (what I should have done to begin with) and put it back in. There's a few pics in media named 71 Highboy. The 7.3 is complete with new Stanydyne Injectors, and a Professionally built pump, new bearings, new lifters, new oil pump, Mahle rings with Total Seal second rings, turbo manifolds and crossover pipe, and a Rotomaster Turbo. New flywheel for a C6, and some various front serpentine pieces for the front and some motor mount parts from the donor. It only needs a starter. If anyone is looking for a drop in engine, this is in the Pacific NW an hour from Portland. Pictures of the work and inside of it and receipts available on request. I just don't need it. Leave a message here if interested. Thanks.
