    Build Thread 250 XLT 7.3 IDIT

    I’m starting this build thread a little late. Better late than never i reckon. This is my 1993 F-250 XLT 7.3IDI. It had 198,*** miles on it when i destroyed the engine. I’m not too sure why the engine did what it did. I thought i detected an extremely light, hard to hear knock for about a year...

    Rebuild, Power Stroke or Cummins?

    If I can find a good set of gauges I'm just going to get new ones. Even second hand. Does anyone make the column of gauges that go up the trim on the drivers side of the windshield? I've seen them for lots of other trucks but not these. If I can't find one of those I'm just going to put them on...

    Rebuild, Power Stroke or Cummins?

    More pictures are soon to come. I have another rod and piston somewhere that also came loose while the motor was running. This is just a picture of the one piston i had near by. Ill take more pictures and update as i go along. Soon I’ll have a new truck! I have a manifold pressure / EGT ISSPRO...

    Rebuild, Power Stroke or Cummins?

    UPDATE I don’t know if i should make a build thread or keep with this one. I have been bothering the hell out of Wes @ classic Diesel Designs and he has been putting up with me very well. Ive ordered a bunch of parts. My block and heads are in the machine shop, tranny is out and I’m taking it...

    Rebuild, Power Stroke or Cummins?

    I got my head studs ordered. Once I get an email back from Wes I'm going to get the turbo. Either the R&d stage 1 or wes's upgraded turbo . I would like to stick with one guy for everything. Right now I'm leaning towards wes' s turbo intake manifold and intercooler kit.

    Rebuild, Power Stroke or Cummins?

    I found a cheap donor idi motor. Between it and mine I'll have a good useable base. I'm about to pull the trigger on the stage 1 turbo unless someone can change my mind. My pump is fairly new and puts out a lot of fuel. Oregon Injection rebuilt it for me and really did a good job with it. My...

    Rebuild, Power Stroke or Cummins?

    Thanks for all the good information everyone. Im starting to remove the motor and tranny that is in the truck. Ill post pictures in this as i move along. I forgot about classic diesel and Russ. Ive been a long time lurker on here. Never had too many reasons to post until now. It’ll be a fun...

    Rebuild, Power Stroke or Cummins?

    If i did finds cheap donor truck for the Cummins or power stroke, that would settle it then and there. If not, it’ll be the idi probably. I guess i needed to make this thread to have someone tell me that I’m not a total idiot for going that route instead of doing the Cummins or PSD. I’m about...

    Rebuild, Power Stroke or Cummins?

    I agree the 466 would be amazing but that's not something I want to tackle lol. The 360 is way more within my limits but still a little far out for me because of the lack of info on it. I've seen the thread with the black f350 equipped with a 360. That was cool.. I'm leaning towards the idi...

    Rebuild, Power Stroke or Cummins?

    I blew up my IDI so I’m trying to get a plan going. I’m not in any hurry to get this thing going. First i was thinking of rebuilding it. Getting some nice parts, turbo, studs and all that good stuff. I thought the Cummins swap would be out of the question because of price and difficulty and all...

    IP supply line woes

    Ive been looking at the duralift facet pumps. I think a lot of guys on here use em and I’ve seen good reviews. Is that a good pump? Ive only ever messed with electric pumps on old gassers and they’ve been holly / edlebrock . Ive heard the Holly’s hold up pretty good on our trucks but I’ve seen...

    IP supply line woes

    Thank you very much! The filter base is standard pipe thread? i run wmo not veggie oil. I’m not an advocate for veggie oil but a lot of folks like it a lot. I stick to petroleum products though. I run Mostly a mix of 80% oil up to 20% reg. Gas or 90 oil 10 gas. If i have diesel or kerosene i...
