Hi everyone,

I have a 93' Ford F-350 with the 7.3 IDI and an E4OD trans. The trans is getting a little tired with 160,000 miles on it and I've been shopping for a replacement. I recently stumbled across a 96' 7.3 Power Stroke with an E4OD trans with very very low miles on it. It had a tree fall on the truck in 98' and the engine and trans has been sitting in a garage ever since. I'm interested in swapping it into my truck for obvios reasons. It comes complete with the front wiring harness, computer, and all accessories. I was wondering if anyone knows anything about how this setup might work. Will the motor mounts line up, do the drive shafts need to be modified, will I need a different radiator, or anything else you guys can think of.

Thanks, Jeff

 

I want your old engine.

 

How about a new vocabulary by the time you're done. The power stroke is wire controlled throughout and the idi is manual control with an ecm controlling the trans. I think that would be a nightmare unless you could restore the cab on the tree kissed truck.

 

why not just swap out the E4OD's?sure would be alot easier to just swap the trans. and keep the IDI.does the engine only have 160,000 on it?,if so it's just broke in.

 

You will be without a truck for a very long time. First order of business will be removing the wiring harness from your truck and replacing it with the power stroke harness. Dash guages and throttle pedal are included in this part of the swap.

The mechanical part of the swap will be the easy part, it should take about 40 hours of work with 2 or 3 people. The mechanical parts should bolt right up to what you have now.

 

If I were you I would just swap the transmissions. The wiring would be a mess and it would be a project for a long time for you like everyone is saying. If you want more power go for an aftermarket turbo and exhaust system like banks or ats. That will give you more power than an psd.
