93 7.3L IDIT Swap for Powerstroke?

Hey Guys,
I have a 92 F-350 with a 7.3L IDI Turbo engine that's packed it in and I'd like to replace the engine with similar power plant or a later model 94+ Powerstroke.

Do I have to change-out the ECM & Engine Wiring Harness in order to use a later model 94+ Powerstroke and is it a drop-in replacement for 7.3 IDI Turbo?

Thanks,
Kelly

it is doable, but you are going to need the complete wiring harness from the powerstroke truck to swap into your 93.
the 93 does not have an engine management computer, and the wiring is different from the powerstroke.

You do not need the whole harness, just certain wires. I am currently swapping a 7.3 and got the harness narrowed down to the minimum. Just enough for it to run with a tuner. If you want to know what I did I can post my diagram to help you out. Also a Manual has a lot less wiring than the automatic and pushed me in that direction. The only problem is harnesses themselves are hard to find.
