I am thinking of sending a 2.3 ford cam to delta to have them regrind it. A guy I know online just had one done for like 80.00 and it looked really good. What all would you have to do to build a 6.9 up. I know a guy that has a truck with a 6.9 and has a 7.3idi he was thinking of swapping into it. Is the 6.9 better for power. He wants something close to what a 03 to 07 5.9 cummins has. Should have taken my truck to the dyno event Gonna have something to dyno come spring though. Need to hang out again dustin. Been working on something, but I am behind due to working in north dakota.

 

Check out Racin's build here and over at PSN. There is also another twon builds at PSN that might interest you too.

 

Delta does good work, Ive had several cams done by them, including a 2.3 roller cam. I wouldnt hesitate one second to use them for any grind.

As far as the 6.9 vs 7.3 goes... There is some trade offs, especially with a stock type Turbo setup (ATS, Banks, Hypermax, Etc)... Head bolts are 7/16" on a 6.9 and 1/2" on the 7.3... As long as you run studs overtorqued, you shouldnt have a problem with the 6.9, and you get the benefit of thicker cylinder walls. But a 7.3 has a bit more displacement, and makes a bit more torque.

A step sleeved 7.3 block would be the best of both worlds...
