What is the the differance between those two engine what should i be aware of if i'm planing to run a 7,3 l powerstroke on wvo, i'm interrested in buying a 1996 one with 315k kilometers on it ( 200k miles )thx i would need i quick reply, i know the truck wont stay to be sold for a long time..

i coulnd find the information that convicted me to buy or not that type of motor on the froum... :S THX !

There are pros and cons to both . Make sure that the truck is a keeper before you act on the WVO conversion . If you get the Powerstroke, use the DFA http://www.dinofuelalternatives.com/ WVO conversion kit.

Look here http://biodiesel.infopop.cc/ev...ms/a/frm/f/505106403 and also search these forums and google for the subject .


Edit - For general information on Ford IDI vs Powerstrokes ( PSD) -

Both are considered good wvo candidates.
The IDI is older, with cheaper parts.
It's Stanadyne fuel injection pump is it's Achilles heal.

The P.S. has expensive parts.
I don't have experience with the Powerstroke but I second the DFA recommendation.

so it should be do able to convert a 1996 DI 7,3l turbo engine ( powerstroke ) thx again
