It's good to have an ambitious list, reminds you why you're in school. Just do a little at a time and you'll get there eventually! Here is my list I'd like to get done this spring:
Exhaust manifolds and Up-Pipes (everything is leaking... and it STINKS in cab w/ heat on)
HPOP (currently in the works... thanks Craig and Joey!)
RW 1's
Injector Cups
More gauges
Re-burned chip
OIL PAN OIL PAN OIL PAN! Did I mention oil pan??
Total is right around $3K
Will be pulling the engine this spring and doing all of the above. There a good set of directions around here for pulling these motors? Engine stand rated to 1000lbs enough or should I go more for safety?

For all that, you should look at the black mamba
99-02 7.3L FORD POWERSTROKE 500HP+ CRATE MOTOR -
Sounds real cool in theory dont know if i would use pistons that have had material removed for valve clearence but other than that it sounds cool and less than $10k

I think if money were no object. then i would do a frame off bolt by bolt restoration of the entire truck. not that its even remotely close to needing it. but you know what they say about a fool and his money... so I would surely clean and powder coat the frame and go from there.

Ken, cutting pistons for valve reliefs is actually a good thing to do. Have you ever seen the valve to piston clearance of a STOCK 7.3L PSD? It is very very close. Any valve float and the valve will hit the piston. Worn springs will also allow them to hit.... So, it's nice to cut the pistons so that IF you do get valve float or a cam that is a bit more radical you won't have pistons hitting the valves all the time. Valve reliefs don't do much to lower compression either. The major compression deciding factor for us is the bowls of the pistons. You can do work on the bowls to allow you to run more timing, but that will lower compression so you have to cut the head and possibly deck the block to gain some of that back, now you need valve reliefs since you just put the valves closer to the piston..

Looks like I was the victor!!! LOL. On your wish list. A lot of those things can be had at much less expense... I'd have to take more time to type out which parts, but the injectors and stuff can be had cheaper by sending Jim your injectors for the stage 1 upgrade.

take your time with it. and james recomended some full force injectors that are cheaper than rosewoods and just as good. but other than that i havent found anything cheaper.

If you get new plunger and barrel assemblies and keep your stock nozzles, you can get stage 1's for $850, if you get new nozzles and keep your stock plunger/barrel assemblies you can get stage 1's OR stage 2's for $885.. Tip, only get what is needed. If your plunger/barrel assemblies are still good for awhile, keep them. Thats if you want to save some money and your parts are in good shape..
