YEP, that ill do it. You won't even know the V is back there with that. Trailer brakes? He don't need no stinkin trailer brakes. Although I'm sure he won't ever sneak up on anyone at the ramp either. My only real complaint about the 7.3L is it is pretty noisy, but they sure are reliable. Just carry a spare CPS and the tools to change it with you at all times. The CPS is the 7.3's achilles heel, but pretty minor compared to most any other engine out there.

So what your trying to say is "You would rather be CUMMIN than STROKIN, but you know to do either you gotta be LIKE A ROCK". Sorry I'm a GM guy, but the 7.3L is a BEAST!

Dmax 365 650 stock(but with some MAJOR torque management). The CUMMINS 600 is supposed to be 325HP according to some reading over at DTR.

the main reason the 7.3 is such a good motor is Ford had nothing to do with the engine, they bought it from International, Ford put more input into the 6.0 and it didn't turn out so well

The early 6.9L/7.3L IDI's were a non replaceable sleeve block. These were the ones that experienced the cavitation issue due to FORD not putting the coolant additive in them from the factory and they would develop pin holes through the cylinder walls into the cooling passages. I'm not sure about the 7.3 PS, but I didn't think they had replaceable sleeves. Most any engine can have custom steel sleeves put in it though.
