'91 F350 4X4 7.3L Engine/Powertrain Swap?

I have a '91 F350 4x4 Service Truck with a 7.3L non-turbo engine, manual 5-speed trans, manual locking hubs. The transfer case just went out, the trans makes alot of noise, and the engine is tired. So, I'm thinking I will swap the whole drivetrain (except maybe the axles). I was thinking of using a later model donner truck, likely turbo, maybe auto trans,

Any thoughts??????

Is one year better then another and why?

At what year will I need to add the FI control module and just how big of a deal is that?

Could I use the orig. FI system with a later model engine? (turbo?) Would I want to?

Ultimately I want to end up with a clean, reliable, powerful work truck.

Thank you for your help and input,

I vote for an early 90s International DTA360 with an RT6610 or RTO6613.
