Ok so some of you may remember the thread i typed up on the kid at my school with the idi engine that had us all wondering.Well i am the proud owner of it now.Came to find out logans grandpaw who owns the yard told logan bout the motor tansey brought in and logan took it and was keeping it at their barn so i asked if he would wana sell it he said 250$ i didint wanan pay that stinkin much so i ended up trading him my bow for it i wanted to sell my bow anyway so now we are gunna see what really hapenend to this poor engine

 

is it a f250 or 350 if i rember right the motor turned it self in to a boat anchor

 

So....What's the story with the engine?

Dose it run?

Are you going to rebuild it?


IDI engines can be had for cheap, so if it doesn't run, I think you got the bad end of the deal

 

I must have missed something

 

I know i was dumb doin this but i dont care i wana tear it down to diagnose the failures here is the thread so you guys can catch up https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...ossibly-4.html

 

Trying to read that thread was pissing me off.........

 

That thread was probably the hardest one I've ever read...and I do more reading than posting!
Driving the crap out of the truck doesn't guarantee the thing will blow up! I drive mine like I stole it...the motor sees the governor through the gears very often, like several times a day. The thing is bone stock and flies. Quite a bit slower and frusturating compared to a big block though.
As for speed without overdrive, I can bury my speedo in 4th and still be accelerating for a little longer, wth 3.55 gears and 235/85r16, basicaaly 32" tires. And I can't wait until I can beat it more during the work season, starting in April. I swear my 6.9 runs better when it's getting abused. LOL
But now that you've got the chance to tear it down, you gotta take pictures!

 

Oh i am gunna for sure if it can be saved cheap enough i will revive it and build my idi i really want go sorta the route dave did but gunna mess with nos on it if this engine will live again cheap haha

 

I don't know about nitrous..saw the after math of a 60 series detroit that accidently had torch oxygen ran in the fuel system..It BLEW up..40 16mm head bolts didn't last and it put a main cap in the floor..It is a wonder nobody got killed..

 

Ya it would be very little bits at a time till i got it where i had a safe limit to the motor.I wouldnt build my own kit either if i do its gunna be the actual nos diesel engine kit but i gotta check this engine out first i doubt it can be saved.

 

so ill be the odd one what kinda bow was it?lol

 

LOL.. I thought about that too...I have a 25 year old Martin Lynx that I wouldn't trade a truck for..

 

Get it running...You will have fun playing with it.....

 

That's 'cuz you're thinking Ford......I know you'd trade an old bow for a Dodge.

 

A pse nova brand new muzzy 100grains never shot true fire trigger release stabilizer mathews arrow quiver whisker biscut 60$ case and new strings were 100 bucks.I tried to sell it for 300$ on craiglis but nobody would go for that deal i had a little over 450 in it so i traded i know i lost but oh well id rather have the motor haha
