Durability, power potential, lack of emissions controls, and the fact that parts are pretty darn affordable is what makes the 7.3L Ford Super Duty engine so attractive.Not to spoil anything here, but I’d call Part 3 of “Keepin’ Up With The Joneses” a crowning moment for the magazine’s ’97 F-350. With the final weak link ruled out this month thanks to a serious revision of the truck’s electric fuel system, I once again put the 186,000-mile, stock-bottom-end 7.3L to the test. Not only did I hit my goal on the dyno, but I backed it up at the track and discovered the truck is capable of running 12.50s in the quarter-mile.
