Did you replace the "olives" on all the hard lines?? Looks like they are leaking fuel. Also, get a new cowl gasket before you get water in the engine thru the intake (even with the filter assy installed). I placed an old rubber mat over mine since it leaked again with a new gasket after heavy...
Get a 7lb radiator cap. You don't really need the 13lb cap & will lessen your engine coolant pressure. I personally use the #328 Stant Lever cap so i can release pressure a little safer than having to unscrew the non-lever caps.
Looks like you need to either replace your door striker or loosen it and move it in, tighten & check clearance. Will move about 3/16" to 1/4" which will pull the lock side of the door into the body. Probably have to adjust it a few times for ideal closure.
I've had to do this too my '86 a few...

There are no coolant passages in/on the intake manifold. You can see on the flat area where the coolant passages on the head seals (with the gasket). This is probably where it is leaking coolant from the head.
You may just need a new intake gasket.
Why will the 7.3 heads not work? Sure they will. Just open up water jackets at corners & use sleeves at the headbolt holes.
Remember, if your 6.9 block is the original, block heater hole over starter may be cracked. Check it.
From here, looks like it may be a Rotomaster type. Cardone has purchased this company recently I understand.
Is not super but is better than nothing. Parts & kits are available.
I see some on eBay you can check out (used is not for me on this item).

I have 2 but will have to save one for my present driver that I bought years ago for $50 (3x) at Dobbs Ford here in Memphis on my brother's Fleet Account.

You are already seeing it. The tube is right at the top of the oil pan & the engine will 'pump & sling' the oil out while running (internal components moving) along with your blow-by issue.
I do not have the clip & bolt at present or I would send to you just to help out.
Been a long while for mine, I removed the dash I think. I can get the part# tomorrow since I got one each for my other trucks at the time because of 'my luck'.
I think the bolt pattern stayed the same on E-Vans until early 2000s then went metric route. Spring perch would be different location so would have to be moved for the truck springs.
Easiest way to do swap for me.
You may have a worn out blend door with hinge broken. No fuhn at all to repair, especially in-the-truck.
May have a bad selector switch & get another at Pick n Pull. Pull whole switch out of dash
The vac motor can be replaced in the truck (if you are a midget or removing the front seat). Can...
Quick question for the advancing timing operation. About how many degrees translates to inches. Like is it 1/16 in for ever half degree or something more dramatic. Thank you
If you do not have a timing meter, degrees will not translate. We use 'dimes thickness/width' as a safe measure of...
