Completely different. I'm sure some of the components are the same, but the 94.5-97 powerstroke is a mechanical fuel pump fuel system and the 99 and newer have an electric fuel pump in the tank. Also, the 99 and newer are intercooled. There is quite a bit of difference between the engines. I'm sure someone else will be along to give you some more info.

not sure but would like to know more so heres a

the turbo is different and there are a couple of things switched around like the a/c compressor and the alternator r switched places. the internals r the same except for the injectors and on the 01-03's the rods are made of a different material. and the HPOP is different on the newer ones. just some lil things that r revised from the OBS trucks.

The fuel pump is on the frame rail

Body style lol. Old Body Style (OBS) and Original Super Duty (OSD) as I like to call it.

HUGE HUGE LIST.

Where to start?

1)Turbo
2)Injectors
3)Intercooler
4)Transmission
5)Rods (depending on year)
6)Axles
7)Fuel System
8)HPOP
9)IDM (depending)
.......................................

There is TONS more for that list.

Alot of parts will transfer from SD to OBS. but not much the other way around.

The Complete list is VERY long.

The base engine is basically the same and I think is interchangeable, its all the stuff that’s bolts onto the engine and the truck that is different.
Biggest parts that come to mind is;
Injectors,
Intercooler
Turbo
Fuel pump
Rest of the truck

Of course you got breaks in the years too, most notably the early 99 which is kind a bastard child. But I like mine cause I dare to be different.
