IDIT master rebuild kit?
Anybody know where I can get a master rebuild kit for the IDIT? most stuff is the same but the piston rings are diferent and so are the the piston pin bushings.

I'm shopping for engine internals myself, and it seems waaaayyyy cheaper to buy components piece meal on eBay than to buy a "kit". I know you really have to watch what you buy online, as there is so much mis-information about what fits what (rockauto mixes 7.3 IDI, 7.3 IDIT, and 7.3 DI stuff BADLY), but a lot of eBay sellers offer really good specifications if you can measure your old stuff out. Here are some auctions that may help... didn't find any piston rod bushings by themselves, but the seller of the kit might be able to get them:
Rings only:
Ford 7 3 7 3L Diesel Turbo IDI 1994 Vin K Piston Rings Set | eBay
Engine kit with 33mm rod pins
Ford 7 3 7 3L Diesel Master Engine Kit Pistons Cam Timing 1994 IDI | eBay
VS. Engine kit with 28mm rod pins
Ford Truck F250 Diesel 7 3L Engine Kit 7 3 1988 89 90 91 92 93 Pistons Gaskets | eBay

Thanks F834 I just wonder about the manufacturer I think I just might get everything individually from mahale, beacuse im kind of a special case beacuse im buying so much of the major stuff from Justin at R&D there is a lot that I dont need in the kit.

That's how I feel. Kits are ok for stock rebuilds and are for folks who don't even want to have to figure out what parts they need, let alone choose between brands or performance specs. Just thought the eBay seller that retails those kits might be a source for the individual parts specific to the IDIT if you couldn't order them elsewhere. X2 on a quality manufacturer, I don't need to save a few bucks when it comes to engine internals, especially if the plan is to tune it up a bit... or a lot!

Haha tune it up a lot might be more corect. Mahle has most all the berrings I need Im not sure if I can get them for a good deal yet, I will call tomorow but it seems most of the rebuild kits dont give you this or that but give you a lot of stuff I dont need for my build. I am not sure about the lifters that I have and have a feeling that might be a high ticket item if I need to replace them. guess im scrapping the master rebuild kit idea, oh well it was a good thought. I just really need all the berrings, head gaskets, valves, guides, springs and front and rear main seal (maybe lifters). I wish there was one place you could get all these items from all the most quality manufacturers ... (R&D IDI PREFORMANCE) HINT HINT

Yeah it seems like the thing to do I want the best internals I can get in this engine, It will be getting worked hard at times and it needs to hold up to the stresses. I am going to give Mahle a call tomorow and see if I can get a printout of the parts for the IDIT and when I get it I will post it on here. gaskets and stuff I will obviously need to get somewhere else but the internals are my main concern.
