Engine swap!!!!

i have 85 f250 4x4 with the 6.9l n/a. The motor is shot, i was curious if it was possible to yank the 6.9 out and drop a 7.3 n/a crate motor... is it possible, and where could i get the 7.3 or another 6.9 motor

It will bolt right in. But I would stay with the 6.9 since it's a better motor. Wrecking yards are good to get them from, but no way to tell what shape they may be in. Or get one and rebuild it while still using the one that's in there now.
