I’m not the most experienced person with engines, but it makes since to me too. My thought was, if the heads already don’t flow enough air for 7.3 liters of displacement, then a de-stroke to smaller cubes would require less air. AND the longer piston dwell time would help with the injection...

My brake booster has failed and I'll be beginning my SD axle swap soon. I've read that everyone who does the hydroboost conversion likes the pedal better afterward but that it's not recommended to do with disc brakes. Any truth to this? Don't want to buy the swap parts then not be able to use them.

Curious to see the info that comes up here. I hope the 400's aren't as prome to cracking as they were before

Call me crazy but I've seen this on a Duramax. Are the alignment dowels for the trans snug in the block? If they are loose or missing, it'll eat flexplates like fuel

Egt's were still in check with 5+ ms?

That's good to hear because I've been eyeballing that kit pretty hard here lately. I'll likely pull the trigger on it before winter hits. Actually looking forward to it now. Thanks

In all honesty, my mind doesn't ever seem to quit. It's a curse sometimes. I just like builds that are a little different from the bolt together stuff. Something you're not likely to see 2 of. Or just trying to think outside the box.

Sorry for baiting in with the title, but here's my situation. I've bought an 05 5.4 f250 zf6 to swap my 97 to coils. I know the modular Ford engines have the same bellhousing as the 6 liters. I've also read in several places that from 2005 on, the gear ratios are the same between the gas and...

Did not see the turbine wheel on your website. Could any airflow be gained by fabbing the factory turbo outlet to work with 3" intake plenums?

I'll be looking into this in case anyone was remotely interested in the original idea. If the stock crank rod journals can be destroked .250, a longer custom rod would be built, combine that with a .010 overbore, displacement would come out to a 6.9L ironically. I also ran numbers on the...

Could there be cavitation at that rpm? Don't know a lot of people running 4500rpm. 4200 yeah, but not 4500.

8WR, care to elaborate on your set up? Either on here or in a pm? Any have preferences on programs to build with?

I'm in the market for a table, I'd like to be in the 4'x4' or 4'x8' range and like to set a price limit of around $8k. I've heard different things about stepper motors or not and trying to decide which one you want online can make you dizzy. Does anyone have real world experience and with which...

What cam did you go with the second round? I've been debating on a Colt stg 2 or something comparable to help large single spool up.

Funny you mention that elrodalexander, that's my plan is to remote mount the turbo to passenger fender well. Much like Duramax setups. Then try to come up with a large capacity intake manifold. I've just finished removing the manifolds today. I'll be ordering the flanges and tubing soon.

Here's some more things I had cross my mind about this hypothetical. Iirc, you can bore a 7.3 .040 over and buy stock style pistons. Now if you were to place the head on the block with a couple bolts and turn the block over on an engine stand with no other internals, mark the upper parts of the...

Forgive my ignorance golfer, I'm not trying to sound like a smart a$$. I have an honest question.... How are the 7.3 heads feeding mechanical pump equipped engines with enough air to make big house numbers if they don't flow alot?
