I know it is most likely more complicated than it would seem to be, so i ask
what are the implications in instaling a powerstorke engine in place of the
old naturally apirated 7.3?  The vehicle would be a '91 superduty with a 5
spd trans.  I know that there will be a wiring harness change, possibly the
dash.  What about the rest of the drive train.  Thanks.

Don't forget about the inter-cooler, air intake, and possibly the
exhaust system too.

Computer, entire engine management wiring harness, fuel pump, possibly the
fuel tank

sure was a lot easier 30 years ago, but then if it was easy, a lot of us
would be digging
ditches or clearing clogged drains for a living.  ;-)

Okay so is the internal wiring (dash and such) compatible?  And will the
rest of the drive line welcome the extra power?

Thanks to all
