Message: [QUOTE="PVXCummins, post: 1517330, member: 26874"] My roommate bought a '96 F250 4x4 June of 2013. Him and I replaced all rear hangers, shackles, both fuel tanks, and shocks and POR15'ed the frame within a month of buying it. He parked it September of 2015 with a leaking fuel system, power steering pump, rotten rad support, cracked rad, rotten oil pan and slipping E40D transmission. Truck has 275,000 miles on it. Fast forward to June of this year and we finally pulled the engine, trans and transfer case out of the truck. He has a brand new built trans and triple disc convertor ready to go in. Original plan was to replace the oil pan, re-gasket a few things, install a Driven Diesel Electric Fuel System, replace the rad support and put it back together. That plan has since changed (as most builds usually go) and now we are doing a full rebuild on the engine with plans to make 400-450 HP. He's new to this game but is willing to spend the money on the right parts to make this happen. Ive built the engine in my 12V puller, rebuilt the engine in my 6.0 tow rig, but 7.3 performance is a whole new animal for me. Please school me on injector size, HPOP's, and turbos for a set up capable of 400-450 HP. Truck will never see a pulling track and maybe will see a drag strip few times a year. Want a fun, reliable street truck Heres a list of parts/plans i have compiled for him so far: Heads: -Surface head, check valves and seats, o-ring (local machine shop) -ARP Head Studs to hold it all together -Valve Springs and push rods (unsure of what is needed here) -Stock head gaskets Block -Mahle complete gasket set, new crank bears, rod bearings, cleaning pistons up to re-use and going to put new rings on them -Re-using stock cam (unless a mild upgrade would be needed) -Replace roller lifters -Block is going to the machine shop to get cleaned and honed, him and I will assembly entire rotating assembly Air / Fuel -New up-pipes -Exhaust is 2 years old, MBRP unit (3" down pipe) -Whats a good Cold Air Intake to get?? -Turbo, was thinking the BD Power Turbo Thruster II -Driven Diesel Complete OBS Electric Fuel System -High Pressure Oil Cross Over Tube from Diesel Power Products -Adrenaline HPOP -Hybrid injectors (what size???) -Tony Wildman custom tunes I'm really unsure of injector/turbo/HPOP combos. What i understand, with Hybrid injectors you don't 'really' need an upgraded HPOP. But not sure what injector size or brand would be best. Appreciate any help you folks can give. [/QUOTE]
