Hello, so I'm new to posting in the forums here but I have used them many times to fix my truck and I'm looking to rebuild my 7.3. The reason I'm rebuilding it is because I was running through a ton of oil about a gallon every 100 miles, I know it was leaking out of some of the seals but the exhaust was blowing quite a bit of blue smoke so I figured there was some blow by. Anyways I have the engine out of the truck and looking to rebuild.
My biggest question about rebuilding it is what performance upgrades would y'all recommend? I know putting a turbo on it would be ideal and I plan to in the future but I currently don't really have the funds the rebuild the engine correctly and put a turbo on it. So my question is will it run okay with say the cam shaft from R&D performance without a turbo on it? Or any other internals that would be better suited for a turbo.
