Okay so here's the deal, my 1996 f-250 extended cab single rear wheel drive 5spd(used to have the e4of but made the swap from that piece last year) powerstroke diesel has the infamous freeze plug crack(crack is between the passenger side rear freeze plugs). In order to fix this problem permanently is to get a new block, which isnt easy to replace due to the entire engine teardown and moving the external parts to the new shortblock. Money wise, its less for me to just get a engine that is a drop in to simplify things. Now I havent had any luck finding a 97 ( my desired model), so a local has a 01 7.3 that I am interested in and I would like to know what would have to be done so I can fit this newer model into my 96 body. I know I will need to install the intercooler and run fuel lines down into my tanks to get everything to work. Now I dont know what it takes to do the e-fuel so I need some help with that. Also while im putting in the new engine i'm getting a chip from dp tuner so electronically everything will be sound and im also installing a diamond eye 4" dual exhaust with a two piece downpipe. Will I need a 4" or 3" downpipe for the turbo connection? Shortly after I get the truck running im getting a pyrometer and boost gauges by autometer. Last question my zf5 is a zf542 from a 91idi, I have a zf547 in the garage however it has a cracked bellhousing. Can I use my zf542 case and dump the zf547 gears into it?
