Engine replacement
Hey y'all I'm replacing the engine on my 1986 f250 6.9idi.
I just bought another 6.9idi but the engine doesn't have everything with it so I will need to use parts from the engine in my truck.
Does anyone have any tips/pointers? Any specific tools I may need? Anything helps..
Thanks!!

Im not sure what you are asking, but I'll try to interpret.
You have a 6.9 in your truck. You want to replace it with a spare 6.9 or 7.3, correct?
You want to borrow parts from the 6.9 in the truck to make the spare engine run? Right?
You need to write more words. I can't help you if you don't describe what you are trying to do.

What specifically did you buy? Just a block? Or a block with everything up til the heads? Or a block with heads? Or a block with heads and intake? or a block with heads, intake, manifolds? Or a block with heads, manifolds, and pumps and pulleys? Or a block with heads, manifolds, accessories, cables, etc?
Words. They work wonders. And they are free.

Harmonic balancer puller.
Power steering pulley puller, works on vacuum pump as well
Torque wrench.
Ferret timing tool
Timing light.
Engine hoist.
Engine stand.
Don't use a jaw puller on your power steering vacuum pump or harmonic balancer, DAMAGE will result.
Might of missed something but that's a good start.
