Finally got the truck a while back, very pleased with the condition besides the interior. Working on getting the engine running. Got it unseized, but found it had a broken distributor gear and the weights and springs had broken off. Took it apart and am going to try and drive the oil pump to see...- wyndnra1n

7.3 New in box MAHLE Pistons
Hey guys, when I bought my core 7.3 the seller included a complete set of pistons, rings, and locks with it that I do not need. They are MAHLE pistons resold by Enginetech, their part number is K1577(8)030. MAHLE part number 224-2908. I have attached photos as well as the listing from the MAHLE...- wyndnra1n

Wow, this is an amazing resource. Thank you! From this manual, and other information found, this is 100% an N/A 7.3. However, it does have the turbo block casting number ending in C3 and the 1/4 in oil feed in the rear with an adapter down to 1/8. Navistar must have just been using the updated...- wyndnra1n

https://www.oilburners.net/threads/turbo-block-casting-numbers.35121/ Very strange. Would not surprise me if international just used the turbo block for everything at some point even for N/A motors?- wyndnra1n

The block also has the 1/4 npt oil feed at the rear of the block. Would make a lot of sense to have a T in the s/n though. From the information I found here, I was assuming I had a turbo block. https://www.enginebuildermag.com/2006/07/rebuilding-the-international-6-97-3l-powerstroke-engine/...- wyndnra1n

Well I have partially tore down the 7.3 I got, and it looks like I struck gold. block s/n 7.3DU2U1227167* So I have a 1994 factory turbo short block. Was a steal for $270! Came out of an E4OD truck. Valvetrain all looks good and is tight and no sludge in the valley yet. Hopefully nothing crazy...- wyndnra1n

Draining your oil...any opinions?
I have used multiple Fumoto valves with complete satisfaction every time. I used to drive about 3k miles a month and it made oil changing a breeze. They also make a bunch of different styles for whatever you want to do. I personally use the short style without the barb for a hose.- wyndnra1n
