if you have an IDI, and you frequent these forums, then maybe you have seen this.
if not, heres a lill somthing for you i have in the works.
94 7.3 IDIT w/ 093 ATS F450 Zf5 4wd
i thought i changed the slant to brick also?
i have an 86 here im putting some work into for a buddy, im all bass akwards!
thats a dead stock 94 IDI with an ATS 093.
picked up that badboy for super cheap! 600 bucks with 98k on it.
my 6.9 would warm up and knock like the police at your door.
it had to go
well, the bed didnt come out as good as i hoped,
i leveled the bed, and cut it 90*, but i was in a hurry and didnt spend too much time on it. i had to get it done.
it needs to come back off and finished up, but it dont look too bad as a 5 foot bed
its hard tach'd and will do for now.
update.
all new fuel system.
Facet e-pump, Bull Moose IP, Mister Mark II injectors
new turbo on its way with a WWII for the 093.
stainless inner cooler piping.
im having a hell of a time sealing this block up.
I keep getting water in my oil.
I have isolated it to the timing gear cover.
ive had the engine tore apart several times now, used 3 different types of sealant.
I know for a fact that its the front cover.
how do I know this?
ive made block off plates for the oil cooler and water passages, it holds 20 psi all day long with the oil cooler installed,
20 psi with the front cover off and water ports blocked off.
ive had this engine on the pressure tester for more than 50 hours, turning the crank 90* every couple of hours to rule out cavitation.
ive pressurized each glow plug hole with 120 psi, and no bubbles in my radiator.
for some reason, im still leaking water in my oil.
I have not put coolant in it due to this issue,
ive driven the truck about 100 miles to see 1/2 a gallon dissipate in my radiator.
the valve covers, have signs of water.
today I drained the oil and put the pressure tester on it again, im expecting to see water after the oil is drained.
ive finally located another timing gear cover. 80 bucks on e-bay, I will be trying that next.
there is some pitting on my cover, but it appears to be in good shape.
im at my wits end with this truck honestly.
ive been very tempted to throw a powerstroke in it........
ive been fighting a water issue.
timing cover leaks water into the crank case.
I have sealed this cover up 3 times with 3 different sealants without success.
scored a bran new cover off of e-bay, I hope it cures the issue.
im done messing with this engine. I must have an internal leak somewhere.
im doing a engine swap today,
installing my spare engine and tearing it down.
aint life a........
Do you do this for fun or would you ever bill willing to swap stuff for cash on the side? I have a supercab 99 7.3l and I would KILL to have a 4 dr plus to be honest I don't think I am going to find a 4dr for anywhere near a decent price...
I am being totally serious too, your not far, I can find a 4dr frame and cab, but I have no idea how it would all work, would it be worth it for you and me etc... I can pm you my contact info if you feel it might be worth exploring?
I don't think you are too far from me either maybe a few hours at best.
its no small task.
altho this can be something I can do.
price depends on what you want me to do.
I have a rule, if im not going to make 60/hr, I can work on my own stuff!
I got enough of it! and yes I do side jobs.
to take your super cab, and a crew cab(long bed frame only)and glue them together, would be the same amount of work that I have into my 01 SD.
140 hours,
so roughly 8k labor.
but if you gave me a crew cab on a long bed frame, that time can be cut considerably.
I work by the hour.
and theres not an issue with adding the SC, its all just work.
heres a project im working on now for a bit of side cash.
70 Chevelle SS with a LS1 and a T56 magnum.
lill bit of sheet metal message
got your pm and I'll give you a call this weekend.
