Re: diesel didnt shut off. ran full throttle
Not sure about rod fitment,between the 6.9 and 7.3. with the 7.3 knocking why not just get the running 6.9 for 1000 and be done with it. if you get any of the other motors your gunna have ALOT of time invested swapping it over. the knocking 73 is gunna cost more than a grand to get back to normal. because chances are the crank is gunna need turned polished or replaced. I can't count how many times i've heard of people just replacing a rod, or just replacing bearings to fix a knock, only to have to pull the motor again to fix the same problem. So save yourself alot of time and money by replacing what you have.
Now on a more up beat, if you can find a non turbo 7.3, that I'm 99% sure that is a direct bolt in.
Thats my .02 cents.
