1994 is a very confusing year for the 7.3 diesel engine! LOL. When you go get parts for a 1994 7.3 diesel you could end up with parts for a 7.3 IDI non turbo, a 7.3 IDI factory turbo, or a 7.3 Powerstroke Diesel! Check the 8th digit on the VIN, M is IDI non turbo, K is IDI factory turbo, and F is a Powerstroke. 1994 1/2 is when they went to the Powerstorke.

I've never checked but is there enough room in a 49' to stick a 6.9? Thinking width at exhaust manifolds and frame width.

Length could be a problem with a 5.9 cummins!

I've thought about a 5.9 cummins in a chev 5 window but not thought enough to start checking for room.

if you can fit a "Y" block with rams horn manifolds in a 36 pickup, i am sure you will be able to fit a 6.9 or 7.3 in a 49 F6
