Need 7.3 help
My buddy just bought a 2002 7.3, and aparently the turbo sucked up the air filter.
Its blowing white/ slightly blue smoke.
Its pushing oil out the dip stick.
Does this sound like a compresstion ring problem or what?
He wants to sell the engine and put a cummins in it.
I was thinking about buying the 7.3, fix/rebuild it, and put it in my 74 ford ranchero.
Need some opinions, is it worth it, and what would it cost to rebuild

I am well aware of the weight. I can modify the suspention if needed.
I'll stop by his house this evening and check it out.
I would rather have the extra weight, I gain better mileage and good power.
