I'm looking at getting an 88-89 4 door f350, 4x4 7.3L IDI for a winter truck. Going to plow with it. I heard the kingpin d60 is better so that's is why I'm shooting for an 88/89.
-Anyway is is possible to get one in good mechanical condition for $3000ish? First off I know these trucks are sort rare, but I'm having a hell of a time finding one in that price range that is near Michigan.
- Any opinions on getting an zf5 or an c6? Can these IDI's hold 75/80 mph with an zf5 or is that non existent?
I'm hoping to get an IDI that way I can run the waste motor oil and save some money since I know these diesels are going to cost more to run than a gasoline engine.
I know the ford small blocks pretty well, till i found this forum and read about the WMO thing.
