I have access to a 7.3 IDI engine, and i was thinking about rebuilding my 6.9 to get a little more power, and what would be some good things to take of the 7.3 to use on my 6.9.

Use the 7.3 rockers.
When you rebuild the heads use 7.3 exhaust valves.

That is about the only things you will want off a 7.3.

I agree with Dave definately use the 7.3 rockers as they are a much better design for durability.

And the fuel filter head, Glow plug system, maybe the Serp belt mounts/idlers.
