Interesting i had always been told they were the same.
Dont worry john, when im done you wont be able to tell its not origional. Aaaand, imo better. When i rebuild it, its getting a doghouse similar to your van / RV as shown in the pic. So the way i look at it, an improvement when it comes to working on the engine. The hump in the floor will be no bigger, if not smaller than one in a obs or newer truck. Still have all the footspace i had before. On top of that, i dont like remote mounted turbos, and where that one sits leaves room for another one on top of it

Exactly, bellhousing bolts, and pulling the turbo will be a walk in the park.

If i have to do something to my pickup and it takes 2hrs, shame on Ford, if i have to do it again and it takes me more than half an hour, shame on me. I like working on my pickup... i dont like getting my *** kicked by bolts and clips and pipes i cant reach.

Its 100% homemade minus the holset turbo and the air filter.

that explains the differances, mines a banks non wastegated turbo setup from a 84 supercab 4X2 auot truck that another member traded me to swap the 6.9 it was on into his 93 with its turbo kit on it..the cool part is it uses a cast alimunm air intake box instead of a snail shell hat like some of theother kits...i;m sure i'll have to rework a couple things as i progress and the intercooler setup will need to be 100% original...nice truck though keep the pics rollin..
