Going to be bolting a known good running 84 6.9 into a 94 7.3 factory turbo truck. Plan to strip both engines down to long block and put all 94 accessories on the 6.9, including glow plugs, controller, and turbo system. Money is extremely tight so we won't be doing my usual rebuild everything you touch approach. The question is should I just turn up the 6.9 fuel pump a turn or swap on the 7.3 turbo fuel pump. Probably not money for a new set of injectors.

Thanks

i would use the 7.3 stuff on the 6.9.
a little more fuel in the turbo pumps.
i would also pop test the injectors,
theres a DIY pop tester in the tech articles.
