Will 2001 F350 7.3 work in 2000?

[buckanut]

I own a 2000 F350 7.3 Crewcab and am looking at putting a new motor in. I have a line on a brand new motor but the sticker on the valve cover says 2001. Will this motor work and what changes will I have to make?

Thanks for any advice.

i think there were a few internals that were changed from 2000-2001 but other thank that its practically the same engine so you should be able to pull the old one out and drop the new one right in place

2001 = PMRs

What is PMRs?

Powerdered Metal Rods. Talking about he connecting Rods in the truck. They arent Forged, so It will only hold so much power before you Window the block with a rod.

[buckanut]

Are the rods in the 2000 forged?

[HVAC SuperTech]

Yeah, they should be for all 2000 model engines.

i might be wrong,but i think 00 was the last year.

[BLACK_PSTROKE]

ya i think they were only forged in the 99 and 00 era for teh superduty

i think the 01,02&03 rods are good for around 450 rwhp maybe 500 but i wouldnt go much higher than that.
