has anyone ever done this swap. i think it be kinda cool

 

Basically the same motor. Differences are injectors turbo and hpop. Otherwise the same internals and such performance wise.

 

what he said they are pretty much the same motor both are interchangable but the injectors plenums drivers manifold turbo injectors valvecover gasket the alternator and ac brackets and a few other things are different but the block and heads are the same

 

Not sure what your asking?

I have a 97 motor in my truck right now...

 

A 95 to 97 engine in a superduty or a 1999 to 2003 engine in an OBS. Just thought it be an interesting swap, old with the new.

 

Its the same motor... Remove the injectors, turbo and HPOP and a 95-97 7.3 is the exact same as a 99 to 2003 7.3.

 

The cam is different the SD cam does not have the lobe gh run a manual fuel pump

 

X2 on cam. Also after i think 01 they went to different rods that are lighter and wont hold up to high horsepower

 

Correct, but the cam has the same cut on it... It is no different. I am running the OBS cam in my truck...

in 2001 they went to Powdered Metal Rods, they are not lighter, just made a different way. They are fine to 400-450hp, beyond that Forged are a better option.

But again, they are the same motor... Swapping a 2003 7.3 into an OBS is nothing special, just like swapping a 1996 7.3 into a 2003...

 

I guess what I was trying to say is to run the 99-03 7.3 in a OBS you would have to change the cam or elec fuel
