Seems like with the Ford crowd that owns trucks with 6.9 & 7.3's like the 6.9's better. Hypermax and Banks makes a turbo kit for either one. ------------------------- low buck "turn up the fuel" site: http://www.freewebs.com/nevrenufhp/index.htm

If I was you I'd drop a cummins in there. It might be a little more work with motor mounts and a new tranny but you'll be alot happier in the long long long run. Stop by a STERLING DEALER. That's where I traded my 94 International 699d series in on a STERLING. I didn't have anything done to it but in stock set up I received 5 miles better fuel economy faster top speed and 75% less down shifts. STERLING had a Cummins setup already in my truck. So they should be able to point you in the right direction. Good Luck!
