1976 F700 conversion
I am taking a 1997 7.3 out of a truck and installing it in a 1976 F700, including the 5 speed and transfer case. Any preventative maintenance to the engine I should do while I have it on the floor, other than some minor oil leaks I need to address?

Re-seal the entire engine including injector O rings, oil rail galley plugs fuel system, and only using Motorcraft TA-31 to seal the intake plenums and oil pan. On the dipstick adapter to oil pan either weld it or buy the $300 gold nugget.
Optional:
-rebuild turbo/ add billet wheel
-rebuild turbo pedestal or buy deleted pedestal
-Mill the exhaust manifolds
-fabricate or buy bellow up pipes.
-freakify mod
-injector cups using Loctite 620 (green) so you can use ELC.

Did you save the dash, IDM PCM and wiring harness?
This project was a fun one to watch and might give some ideas
