7.3 or 6.9
 
Hi I'm new to the diesel world. I just bought a super clean 94 Ford F350 crew cab that had a 7.3 factory ATS kit on it. It now has a 6.9 with all the 7.3 stuff on it, but just found out the both 6.9 heads are junk. So my question is do I take a gamble and put heads on the 6.9 or buy a 7.3 instead thanks..

i would try to find a 7.3 i had a 6.9 in my truck with an ats turbo till it cracked the block then i put the 7.3 in with an ats turbo and that 7.3 has a noticable amount of power diffreance

Is 650 a good price I found a 93 7.3 super clean. Is there any way to check for cavitation.

If it shows no signs of cavitation now, chances are that if you get the SCA's in there right away you wont have to worry about it.
