ive done it before on an 86. If I remember right, they use the same motor mounts. Wiring harness should attach to the same places on the motor. It is a simple swap. Won't get any easier.

we did it in a 86F350 went from the 6.9 to 7.3 out of a 89 had to lengthen a couple wires for sending units(if i recall correctly) I remember that much but other then that it was a simple bolt in.. was about 7 years ago too

years ago, i had an 85 with the 7.3 from an 89. the guy i brought it from did the engine swap.
things to keep in mind:
1. fuel filter is different
2. start motor is the same
3. glow plugs are different
4. the tranny is the same (as far as i know)
