hey everyone, new here. just lookin to throw a topic out there that id like to pursue sometime soon. ive got the thought of swapping a powerstroke into my 94 f350 that currently has an idi in it. the idi has 150k on it and its startin to burn some oil and i can feel it losing power as the miles are increasing so id like to eventually change the motor out but i wouldnt even ponder the thought of sticking another idi in it. im not all impressed with it even tho its got the banks sidewinder turbo on it i still feel like i need more out of the truck and i think a powerstroke would be an awesome replacement to the ol' mechanical pre combustion engine. im sure the first solution you guys are gonna throw at me is "just sell the truck and buy a truck with a powerstroke in it" that right now isnt an option, i just did the whole truck over. replaced the bed, sandblasted the frame and POR15'd it and then sanded the whole truck down to bare metal, filled it, and had it painted. in other words im not selling the truck. so back to the topic at hand, what would a conversion like this require? ive heard that the motor mounts are the same the only real problem is the wiring. what kind of wiring am i lookin to get into here? i know all the powerstroke stuff is plug and play but things like behind the dash for all the sensors and gauges is what im concerned about. what do i have to do for the conversion to be all done correctly? if anyone has a writeup or a walkthrough on this then it would be greatly appreciated as it would be nice to know what im getting into. thanks...btw i plan on purchasing a donor truck so i should have everything i need right here.
