    Superduty van 7.3 in a obs?

    Some guys on another forum discussed this sd-obs engine/trans swap and the associated wiring. I just found an ambulance last week but decided the gains were not worth it at this point, from what they mentioned you will want the PCM and the idm or to do the resistor mod to your old idm.
