Good morning,
I recently purchased a '90 F-250 Supercab, 2WD, Auto, with the original 7.3 (181k on the clock) and a Banks Kit. I'm already on a mission aquiring some spare parts to have around for a rainy day. I came across an '87 6.9 with a matching ZF5 with transfer case, reportedly a running pair pulled to do an engine swap into another truck, PO lost interest.
I would like to build the 6.9 in the garage, make it plenty capable, possibly aquire some other needed parts for the ZF5, then do one big swap if/when the original gives up the ghost.
Is there a set or service manuals available that cover both engines? What are you guys using for maintenance and repair manuals? I saw the sets on "AndAHardPlace"Auto.com, are these any good and which ones should I get for the truck, and which ones for the engine? Also, would anyone know where I could find a copy of the original owners manual without paying $100?
