You now let the magic smoke out. After you do that a 7.3 is no longer any good

...or any other electrical device.

I let the magic pink smoke out of my voltage regulator on my 76 Highboy and it fried the alternator...

Looks great Adam. If all you need are the piston pin bushings I'd say your glass is a lot more half full than half empty.

Just a quick question, how much trouble is it to remove the engine from an obs?can I just remove the radiator support and pull it forward like in the Super Duty's (99-07)?

You have to lift it while pulling forward to clear the oil pan. Make sure and pull the oil filter as well before you start trying to yank the motor. If you're removing the core support, you'll have lots of room and access. It will take you longer to get all the crap off of the support than it will for you to pull the engine

It's much easier to remove the engine with the turbo and uppies already pulled, but I'm sure you already knew that.

Not really, I've never removed a 7.3 or any other engine for that matter on any obs, Super Dutys are easy, complete engine comes out with all accesories attached. Time is not a factor, so I'm probably removing the radiator core support and miscellaneous front end parts, but if it's easier just to remove the turbo and up pipes I might try it.

Mainly the turbo. It makes it pretty tight.
