Goodbye to the 7.3 IDI and hello to the 7.3 PSD.

Wrong forum.
But you don't really need the cluster, but will need most of the under dash wiring for the diagnostic port, idm, pcm, and complete engine harness.

fat and noisy!....
sounds like a good time, if your friends dont find out

I know off topic but I almost died laughing ahahahahahahha

All of my OG IDI have almost 300k on them. Not sure where he is getting his info from, I think he has is backwards?

There is a guy on here that just did the swap. Search.
Hope the engine is as-advertised.

 

[sjwelds]

Wow OP guess you really got flamed!!

As I've said before....it's your truck, you do what you want how you want, and don't listen to anyone else. Then what goes along with that approach is not blaming us when you're 3k over budget and your truck still ain't running.....

UPDATE: I went to a salvage yard and all they had was a 1996 E350 1996 Powerstroke Van. Are the wiring harnesses the same?

It's a complete donor with all wiring harness. I just now bought the engine on ebay. Having it shipped via freight.

EDIT: If anyone needs a 7.3 IDI Turbo block sleeved all 8 just contact me. Also have 2 heads rebuilt with brand new precups. injector lines, old injector pump, and intake. Pretty much any IDI part.

 

[79jasper]

Yeah, pretty much.

I'm looking for a 7.3 IDI, posted earlier in the thread about it and just sent you a pm. I'm in Tennessee as well on the eastern end of the state, not sure if you were near my location or not.

Don't be mean. Everyone wants a custom vehicle that they made themselves! His will be hard work but it is what he wants

I love my 2001 PSD and my 85 6.9IDI. In my mind they are seperate era's of technology and unless I was really set on a particular body style, I would try to stay within those era's regarding swaps for the sake of my own sanity. But I get how you always wanted a PSD. As the folks here have already said, its gonna be an adventure so for your sake I hope that at the end of the day the motor runs really really well for all your effort.

Definitely start looking in the PSD forums to prepare ya for all the little things Murphy has in store for you during the swap. I think the guys in the IDI section are more focused on working within the IDI world rather than trading out the IDI for something else.

Let us know how things go though, what you run into for issues will probably help someone else down the road.

dont get us wrong, i cant lie, id love a PSD in my 87. but i already have a early gen and a late gen. ((as far as 7.3's are concerned) does a 6leaker even count?)
but this is not a novice swap. expect failure upon failure. and if youre not the type to accept failure as a learning curve, go buy a 87 mustang 5.0.

You have given up on a project already don't start another one to do the same, complete the current one and be satisified in knowing you completed what you started.

In for the penny....be in for the pound...

selling a sleeved block with who knows what for quality and so forth of install etc as has been previously discussed because of a lack of $$$$$ in no way makes anyone enticed for spending $$$ on your failure.

Trust us you'll be better off completing what you have than going down the transplant road when you clearly don't know what is involved based on ????'s asked.

We could understand if you had tons of experience and $$$$ to spend but starting over mid point...is just going to be another crash against the wall in all likelly hood and more dissapointment.

It's also gonna cost $5000 to rebuild and IDI, and knowing that 7.3 Powerstrokes are known to go to 300k before a rebuild

So what do you guys think?

My 7.3 ISI has over 420k miles and that goes up by 50 miles or so daily. The IDI is stupid simple and a great engine. I call B.S. on a $5000 IDI overhaul. I've seen too many guys do it for lotsa cheaper.
