6.9l engine work in place of a 7.3? - Diesel Forum

on my way home from work today my back wheels locked up and then let go and my engine had quit. after further inspection there was a big tear in my oil pan. so needless to say i need to find a replacement engine for my truck. a buddy of mine has a 6.9l and i was wondering if it would work in my 1992 f250. if so are there any mods i would have to do. thanks

What year is the 6.9....... Most likely a complete swap of the engine harness and change GPs to ZD9s and the GP system from the 7.3. Switch the 7.3 alternator and accessories to the 6.9.......

Since there is a serpentine belt on the 7.3 you may have some interesting time doing the swap.... not up on switching like some others.

I wish my '92 had a serpentine...
