7.3 good idea or bad idea?

i have the option to get a 7.3 n/a motor with over 200 thousand klm out of a cube van for 300$ i have a 94 f250 with a turbo is this a good idea or would the injection pump be able to keep up with the turbo? or the motor be able to take the boost if i had to swap everything out? i have new injectors in my truck so im not so worried about that but to have a spare motor and pump around would have me less worried if everything is interchangeable

thanks in advance

Slight differences, but still the same motor.

As far as swapping the turbo to the NA motor, been done thousands of times with after market turbos that actually put out more boost than a stock Ford turbo.

You can increase the fuel output on the NA IP or swap the turbo IP to the NA engine, so no problem there.
