If a flew plate from a 7.3 psd is a 6stud you might have luck just switching flexplates because they are balanced by the flywheel and the balancer up front, the flexplate is more ofa adapter that fits in the flywheel. However ive never seen what kinda setup a psd has.

First let me sya that I'm not an auto tranny guy, but from what I understand the 6 bolt converter is for a Stroke, and the 6 bolt flex for the Stroke will not work on the IDI. David or someone with more Knowledge of these E4od will be along to help you out.
