Sounds like a high-altitude engine to me. Just turn the fuel up somenorve8c9 said:
(or, better yet, put a turbo on)The high altitude engines have the fuel turned down, so they won't smoke as much in thinner air...a turbocharger makes that problem disappear, though...
the valve cover sticker will have both ratings printed. the punchout at the top of the sticker is what determines the hp rating. But i have a secret for you.....it really doesn't mean a damn thing once you change out your injection pump. the pump calibration is what determines the hp. there is no difference in the rest of the motor.norve8c9 said:

There is in the 7.3 IDI turbo. They originally came with different pistons, rings, rods and stronger piston pins. Different head gaskets, exhaust valves, and oil cooler ( more fins per inch ) although these parts may now be being used by rebuilders. I've always recommended, if your 7.3 has an aftermarket turbo, rebuild with the 7.3 IDI turbo parts. They'll last longer.
The factory 7.3 IDI turbo was rated at 190 hp and 388 lbs/ft of torque. No altitude vs sealevel difference. The turbo at 5 to 8 psi boost was there more for smoke control than power. It did, however, prevent the rapid loss of power as you went up in altitude.

I stand corrected. I know that there is a difference in the turbo motor, but all I was doing was referring to the hp question on the NA motor. My next rebuild for my '92 will involve the turbo parts if any is still avail. then. From what I understand the rods are starting to get pretty hard to come by.

7.3 IDI Turbo rods
If the rods are getting scarce, the Turbo pistons and pins won't do you much good since they have a larger pin and the non-turbo rods won't work.
