7.3 to 6.9 engine swap
 

Picked up a 1993 4\4 f350 reg cab with the factory ats turbo, freshly rebuilt auto trans with overdrive,the truck is super clean no dings or dents,rust free with all the options 1 owner truck,picked it up for a cool grand,the engine had a serious flutter,,valve guide,decided to yard out the current 7.3 and install a good running 1985 6.9,swapping out all the front accesory"s tomorow and am left with a few quistions,,the 6.9 looks like it does not have a tach sensor and that is paramount to transmission working correctly and if thats the case when i transfer the 7.3 housing should i then go ahead and transfer the injection pump and injectors to match the turbo that will be bolted onto the 6.9 as well,, not a real big fan of setting the time,not looking for a hot rod.,thanks in advance for all the posts that have brought me to this point of joining this site and all the information that i have learned from you guys.

I would rebuild the 7.3 if it is indeed a factory turbo engine. It has better internals in so many ways (pistons, rings, wrist pins, con rods, etc.)
