starting with a 7.3 isn't a bad idea and working your way up, 7.3s are simple to work on, there is a bunch of upgrades, they are rock solid trucks, I would cruise through the forum section tons of good info in there on all the trucks through the years.
I have a 6.0 and love it but everyone has their own opinion and as always
I've wrenched on diesels my entire career, and have always considered the 7.3 to be a rock-solid performer. We have a bunch of the newer engine Super Duties at work and DuraMax chevys, but I just can't let go of the 7.3. You're not gonna go wrong with any of them as long you get one that's been taken care of and hasn't been run hard and put up wet all the time with no maintenance. 7.3 trucks are pretty simple to do about anything you want to do to them but you can learn how to fix any of them.
