7.3L V8 FI engine

I am looking at a 94 F350 with a 7.3L V8 FI engine on it. Is this engine a PS? thanks.

In 94 Ford used three different diesel engines, all of them were 7.3 liter displacement.
7.3 IDI NA
7.3 IDI turbo
7.3 DI Power Stroke

The 8th digit in the VIN number indicates the engine type.

F indicates a Power Stroke
K indicates a 7.3 IDI turbo
M indicates a 7.3 IDI naturally aspirated

when you look at the engine and you can see individual fuel lines running to the cylinders ... its NOT a power stroke.

Um... Powerstrokes say Powerstroke, right on the engine, in big letters

Except for the very first ones... my wife's cousin has one, and the locals swore it was an IDI, for the reason no powerstroke badges or anything on the motor, but I took one look and confirmed it was a powerstroke, as there are no visible injection lines. The only badging it had said turbodiesel.
