I saw an interesting thing the other day. A company called Speed Of Air is manufacturing a new diesel piston design. They have a demo of a 7.3 turning out 575 hp and 1300 lbf of torque at 2200 rpm. No cat, DPF or other pollution control stuff to obtain clean exhaust as well.

That sounds interesting, Michael. Is that a powerstroke or IDI? Scott

Ive got a spare 6.9 and a 7.3 sitting in the garage im about to tear into. I have a low mileage (116k) 7.3 Supercab ive been restoring. I picked up a factory garret turbo system awhile back. Probably going to take the spare 7.3 and go through it, and try to do a weekend engine swap. This video will help me a lot, thanks!!

Only Part way through the video but i just wanted to point out for those watching..... @ 13:06 - try not to get assembly lube on the mating surface where the cap sits as this can leave a small gap between the block and cap giving larger bearing clearances.

What piston rings did you use? Very hard to find for my 94 IDI turbo. From my research, this needs keystone rings for the 1st and 2nd rings. Did you use powerstroke piston rings or non-turbo rings for the IDI?

Enjoying this project. Curious what you paid to have the sleeve installed. I'm considering getting a 7.3 block and re-sleeving all 8 cylinders down to the 6.9 bore for even extra thickness / cavitation protection.
@THEBULLETPROOFGARAGE
Жыл бұрын
Sleeve itself was about $30, and I think I paid about $125 to have it installed. Sleeving a 7.3 down to 6.9 is a good idea. That way you get the thick walls of the 6.9 with the larger 7.3 head studs. Thanks for the question. Scott

@@THEBULLETPROOFGARAGE Thanks for responding. I have a 6.9 that seems to be in pretty good shape, but the block is iffy . . . so I'm thinking of going this route and using the internals of the 6.9 in a re-sleeved 7.3 for the reasons you said.
