7.3 engine 1994
so im looking at a 1994 f 450 with a 7.3, 5 spd. is this a power stroke, or just a 7.3 ? any good? i drive g.m. and know nothing about this one.
thanks! |
if its a powerstroke itll have the powerstroke decal on the side, if it doesnt that have that itll say DIESEL on it, that means its the IDI international. i know nothing about the IDIs but i was looking at buying one a year back that had 320,000 miles on it and was still running strong.

when did ford start putting the powerstroke decal on? thanks for the correction. good info to know
|
Its on both the 94.5 models... I think they just started using them until they run out.
|
I know a guy with a 94 and it has turbo diesel on the side and is definitely a powerstroke, it should be pretty easy to tell by looking under the hood, they usually say something about direct injection on em if they're powerstrokes
|
Mine's for sure a powerstroke and it says Turbo Diesel under the badging on the side. The oil dipstick is at the middle of the passenger side of the engine. They only came with 5 speeds during that model run that I know of. Good engines.
|
thanks for the help!
if the engine is not a powerstroke, than it is idi? did they still have a turbo? i need some power as this is a rollback. but my experience with idi diesels, they are not the best choice for hauling a load :humm: i will look at it next week. |
idi's kinda suck and anyone that tells you differently is in denial
|
Yes, there were turbos on the IDI as well which I suppose could be confusing. The direct injection gives it away however.
