Well I have a question for u guys the truck is a 96 but the engine is a 96 out of a buss and when who ever did the swap they put the 95 cover on the motor but put the 96 hpop and had to do a lot of cranking to get it started due to what I believe was bleed down so I reinstalled 95 hpop should that fix the problem and do u guys know if a 96 7.3 bus motor has a smaller exhaust housing due to the fact it has a intercooler because the exhaust hosing looks smaller to me than my current dd

Progress looks good. I think I would have to keep it though after all that work. This should help with converting to xlt.
