for what? the 7.3 doesnt have as much power but it does last longer with a lot less work, the six.0 is known for a lot of problems, but it does have more power, ( so im told and read) somebody else join in LOL

I wouldn't trade your truck for a 6.0. our 7.3s will last longer than the 6.0s will.

the 6.0 isn't bad if you plan on doing an EGR delete, headstuds, and better coolant filtration, those are the three main things, i'd still never own a 6.0 again though i love my 7.3

It's like the gassers always bicker "350 is better than a 454, a 460 is better than a 351" blah, blah, blah. If no possible way exists that I can get a 7.3, I'll get a 6.0. But 7.3's have been around a long time with proven reliability and that's what I want.

Whoever says a 350 is better has never drove a 454
