getting a new engine.....
I'm curious to know what I can sale off of my old engine and about how much you think i can get parting it out. #8 has broken rings, to my knowledge that's all that's wrong with it. 1997 f250 powerstroke.
Thanks in advance,
Matthew

If you're going to get a new long block you may end up needing all that stuff. Even if you don't I would suggest waiting until you get all the bugs worked out before getting rid of anything.

Cali needs PCM programmed for split shot Injectors.
GPR is different, a few extra wires to PCM for current detection.

Why are you planning on replacing the injectors? They are bigger than the standard injectors. And i should clarify my statement, the fuel pump isnt a bad pump, its just that if the dampener fails its expensive to replace. Why ae you planning on replacing the fuel bowl?

Yeah the cali truck has bigger injectors. If you don't have upgraded injectors, the cali injectors would be a bit more fuel. IIRC they're 120cc sticks instead of 90cc like the rest of the OBS trucks.
