[QUOTE="cfpinz, post: 277098, member: 2383"] The powerstrokes use electric-over-hydraulic injectors where as your old 7.3 and 6.9s use manual injectors. Not even in the same ball park. I have seen a few older motors with the banks turbo units installed and most owners are pleased but say they are still not as powerful as the powerstrokes. I bought a used banks kit off ebay 3 years ago to put on one of my old 6.9 trucks but the truck hasn't set still long enough for me to put the turbo on it yet. If its not going to be loaded a majority of the time, I prefer the old mechanical engines, much easier and cheaper to work on. Plus they last, I've got one 6.9 with just under 350k and another with just over 200k. The 350k motor has never had a head off. cfpinz [/QUOTE]
