'94 IDIT runs rough, low power, nearly overheating after Moose IP

[ocnorb]

Did you pull the trigger on the Promar?

I don't have any idea about Promars.

I know Jasper gets mixed/bad reviews, but the one N/A 7.3 that I test drove (30k miles w/receipts) impressed me by how quiet it was and how much power it had.

Not quite yet. I think that is the way I'm heading but I'm spooked by them being so far away. Research shows that I shouldn't have anything to worry about but there is a lot to be said for being able to swing the Truck past the local machinist that did the work.

I feel bad for the builder here in Utah that has all my junk parts. I'd love to give him the business but we haven't had any luck finding a suitable long block.

Talk to @GOOSE or @laserjock . Both of them have used promar engines.

There is a 7.3 on FB Marketplace in West Jordan. Looks like the kid tore it apart, but it looks to all be there:

Just sent my order in for the Promar with head studs!

I hope you get it back on the road quickly.

With all the glitter in the oil, now would be the time to have Russ or myself checkout your turbo.

 

[IDIBRONCO]

Good point.

 

[SLC97SR5]

Having the turbo checked out is a great idea...only money right?

Picked up the old battered core today, I'm going to send it to Promar anyway, perhaps they can help another 7.3 live on.

I have nearly all of the pieces to put this engine back together (except the engine).

I am looking for a set of exhaust manifolds. Both sides had some decent cracks along the bolt holes and the webbing.

Are the Dorman's any good?

The reviews are not great and I really would like this to be a drop it in and fire up type swap...not discover the manifolds wont accept the exhaust after the engine is in the truck.

Any other manifolds I should be looking at?

I would avoid the dorman manifolds if you can.

I have these in my shed:

They are yours if you want them. I don’t see any cracks, but I’m not sure where to look on these for sure.

 

[SLC97SR5]

Thanks! I'll take them. PM inbound.

Ocnorb, it was great to meet you. Thanks for the manifolds, they look great and will be put to good use!

Anyone have a source for a IDI-T specific oil cooler bundle?
