    Turbo kit install question

    hey guys, here's some pics. Sorry they are not the best quality. In our garage-floor pre-install plan, we are not able to get things to line up as they should, in the sense, the exhaust outlet of the turbo set up is about 90 degrees away from where it is supposed to be. We...

    Put a 7.3L PSD in a '77 F-250

    For the purposes of installation simplicicty, and the fact that the engines are easier to maintain, and put out just as much (and in many cases, more) power as a PSD.... Why not an IDI Turbo?

    Well I screwed up big this time....

    He wants 2500 for it as a whole, as the engine has 10k on it and the tranny has about 40k on it. His reasoning being, that is what he can get for the block + turbo and the tranny. Whether that is the case, is unknown. I will PM you his cell phone.

    Well I screwed up big this time....

    My brother's is an 88 or a 89, can't remember, and definitely is a automatic. you would have to swap the front end.... But from Windsor, we are about a 40 minute drive away... like 20 minutes from springfield.

    Well I screwed up big this time....

    My brother has one with 3 speed, pulls like a mule, is a 4 door 8 ft bed, passes inspection right now but needs a alternator. He isn't sure if he is gonna keep it, so he hasn't put the $300 in it. He had the 3 speed professionally rebuilt with some serious tough stuff( I am not mechanically...

    Well I screwed up big this time....

Has a set of american racing hart rims and brand new 31" tires. It's a 93 with a ZF-5, ext cab and 4x4, 8' bed with a diamond plate tool box. 2...

    Turbo kit install question

    I was really hoping Darrin might be able to shed some light onto what kind of kit it is. I am kinda kicking around here in the dark, as I need to order some gaskets for it, and the info Bruce sent me didn't match up 100%

    Turbo kit install question

    It is the banks kit, not the sidewinder. Just an aftermarket Banks for a 7.3. I was trying to pre-assemble on the floor of my garage trying to make sure everything there. I am kinda lost, because I am using my 88 7.3 with a banks as a basic guide, which i have torn apart and put back...

    93 f-250 Ext Cab 4x4

    He is one of the last few of the good people up here. After looking at the under-carriage, he walked me out of ear shot of anyone nearby and told me to not put in a dime more than necessary to make it pass MA inspection, drive it through the winter and get rid of it. He said he would no...

    93 f-250 Ext Cab 4x4

    you guys all have nicely built, well maintained trucks. I have a rolling pile that I just found out needs cab mounts but can't be done because there is no metal to weld the new ones onto. oddly enough, the frame is still 90% there though. I don't know how that works. This truck is no longer...

    93 f-250 Ext Cab 4x4

    I no longer have an interest in keeping this truck. I bought it because I got it on the cheap, and would work till I could get money together to buy a complete truck. I now have that cash, and while I entertained the idea of dropping the necessary cash to build this truck the way I want, it is...

    Vehicle purchase thoughts: need some other than IDI vehicle advice

    I'd mention to her a Subaru, or honda/toyota.... hard say this, especially around here, but your 4 cyl camry's and subaru's will outlive most of the trucks we drive here, nevermind that maintenance costs and fuel bills would be half of what either one of those other vehicles will give you...

    93 f-250 Ext Cab 4x4

    Rims and tires are $1700... I caught a deal and got them for a few hundred less. They literally have been mounted on the truck for less than a month. $1000 for them is reasonable. if it isn't, take the grand off and have steel wheels and put some junkyard specials on it. I'll happily keep...
