Im pretty sure you can get powertstrokes for free, whereas people want good money for the cummins

Send me all those free powerjokes er powerstrokes!

You guys are forgetting all of the electronics involved with a powerstroke. That is a LOT of wiring. The 7.3 idi is another story, all manual injection.

He's not forgetting. He has already mentioned it as a mater of fact.

its not a lot of wiring just a lot of wires mainly just a glow plug harness and a engine harness that hooks to two computers. no big deal.

I have thought about going with a 7.3 IDI, a friend of mine has one in his Ford F350. While not as great as a Cummins would be, I could probably get the entire engine and transmission for 1/3 of the cost.

Would it fit? Heck yes. Cripes...the 1160/3208 CAT I have in my crane truck is bigger than the 7.3 like a Big Block Chevy compared to a Small Block Chevy. AND you'll have PLENTY of room to move the radiator back and slap in an intercooler if you would like too. That's a super huge bonus of having a V engine opposed to an inline. Expect the steering column to still be close though.
