t444e

i seen the up pipes and exhaust manifolds for a t444e for turbo mount on the intake and wondered if the manifolds would bolt right up to a 6.9?? has anyone done this?

A t444e is a powerstroke. Not at all interchangeable

I have looked at both types of manifolds and the port size and spacing seems verry close to my 7.3idi. I didn't have anything to measure with at the time so I cant say for shure but I was thinking the same thing. I will be trying to confirm this in the next few weeks.

ok cool because if so it would be a great power alternative just to try a different set up. but i would say it would be real close fit or a little fabricating will help.

I want to use them on my build if they will work, got some vacation coming soon and i will be looking at some engines in the wrecking yard.

I agree with tractorman. The t444e is the IH name for the 7.3L PSD. The only thing the 7.3IDI and the 7.3PSD is displacement, the oil filter and a few other parts. The exhaust manifolds, heads, etc do not interchange. Do a search on here, it has been discussed before, and what the differences are. But I do know it is not a "plug and play" solution......

well even with the fact i want to use the same idea on my 6.9 with the upswept exhaust to turbo and exhaust down pipe from turbo which is a good idea on a smaller turbo...
