Nope, There are no electronic injection pumps on our PSD's.
There is a high pressure oil pump, HPOP, that supplies +/- 3000 psi oil to the injectors that are electronically controlled.
There is a gear driven injection pump on the early non-PSD 7.3L diesels.
Take a look here for some great download able .pdf files.

I have a 95' F350 that was a 5.8. Because of the 8-12 MPG I swapped in a 6.2l Chev. On the up side 20+ MPG was great, on the down side not much power to haul anything else but the truck. I found a 95' cube van with a 7.3 PSD and a overdrive trans with 245,000KMS for $1000. If the PSD gets 15-20 mpg as a daily driver I will be happy.

There are some van experts here that will help with the differences between a F to E series swap but I'll bet you'll have no trouble after that very ambitious Chevy to Ford swap. BTW: The power difference will put a big smile on your face. I used to have one of those slugs (6.2L).....in a suburban.

I had the 6.2 with the factory installed Banks kit on mine. Also swapped the gears out for something that would actually make over 600 rpms at 60 mph. I really liked it. I put over 180k on tht truck before I sold it. I ought to post a pic of it.............

my father in law has an older GM diesel and has had to change the injector pump on it several times since new.

The banks kit was a factory installed turbo that came available witht he 6.2. There were not that many of them from the factory. My dad bought it new, I bought it from him, loved that ol suburban. I did replace the pump once at about 145k, but that was about it. That old motor just kept on kicking. If I had a chance to build another suburban, thats the route I would go again too. Find a nice 6.2, spend 1600 for the kit, and get it runnin like a scalded dog.

Yeah my father in law loves his too his is a duelly though
I think you will be very happy mauger with the power stroke even if you don't see the mpg you are looking for.
I sure would like to see some pics of the job when you change it I'm interested because I recently bought a 77 F150 I would like to put a power stroke in eventually
