so a granny low..... LOL i prefer 5 speed since that's what i have always driven except for 2 3 on the tree F 1 pickups with Y blocks.. and the ocasional 4 speed and 6 speed. I prefer 5 thats what I am most comfortable with. As for the turbo I might snagg one off a 99 to 03 and adapt it.

I think the s300 series is the ticket for performance/fitment.

I meant any 7.3 powerstroke, they're all basically the same mount design.

I am referring to the truckd just after the idi when ford took the idi and basically put a turbo on it. That was before the powerstroke

That would be a very easy (bolt on) option.
There's also aftermarket kits made by banks, hypermax, ats (085 &088), cts, and another couple odd ball ones out there.
I see the banks kits more than anything, sometimes also the older ats ones. They all perform about the same. No head studs needed to use em because you generally never see over 15psi.

Sorry I was thinking of the other thread where the guy already has the 93/94 ats 093 kit.

When I did mine it was lots of cuts and bends and grind this a bit, tack that there, it didn't happen overnight. One day I even probably need to redo it, so it's a bit more efficient.
The main problem is space, and finding somewhere to put it. The 7.3 PS turbo has a big goofy pedestal on the bottom of it which doesn't make it very handy to mount somewhere. Could it be done? Sure, but worth it just to have a stock 7.3 turbo, nah, there's better options out there.
You might hit up your local junk yards and look for some trucks with a turbo, or at least some pieces that may help you build your kit. Like a pedestal, intake hat, maybe the hot pipe that feeds the pedestal. Ect.

Or do they just happen to be the right size to fit?
Got pics?
