In regards to your pros and cons, the biggest con about swapping in another 9.0l is that it would be another 9.0l. Since the 7.3l was an optional engine in the s-series chassis you should be able to go to your local navistar dealer and get all of the engine mounts and any other parts and pieces you might need.

The electronic one will require the full wiring harness to make things work as well.

I would also think you would be able to sell the dt360 for more than what it would cost to purchase a good runnning 7.3l.Īgain, make sure the 7.3l is a mechanical and not an electronic one. I would think that if you were to use a 7.3l it would be a relatively easy swap and would have the advantage of not requiring a lot of other modifications to make it work. If it is an electronic version you will need the full wiring harnes to make the pump work. Project wouldn't run in this yearĪnother thing to consider is what version dt360 do you have? Pros- great motor, parts everywhere, tons of mods, easier to work onĬons-have to shorten stub drive shaft going between tranny & t-case, move back tranny, move forward motor, relocate a bunch of stuff on the motor, dog house would be in the way of winch controls, 3 throttle cables relocated, exhaust, and I am sure some other stuff. Pros- bolt in swap, spare parts motor, cost would be kept to a low, it would be a runner in a few months.Ĭons- motor could have 26x,xxx miles, waste $1000, parts arn't hard to get. I live about an 45 mins away from the truck, and that makes my choice even harder. Everyone tells me to dump the 9.0l and drop the dt in it. I would have to move, just about eveything! I guess I am in a rock an a hard place. I measured the dt360, and while I could make it fit.
The other 9.0 I found came out of another truck just like this one. 1988 International 1700, Reg Cab, Hydraulic Brake, Spring Ride, Manual Trans 5x2, 26k lb GVW, 22.5 Tires, 264,460 Miles, Holmes 3210 10 Ton boom, Dual 7.5k Winches, MD-8000 Under lift 10k Rated, Li. Youll find engine components for building projects, lighting parts for maintenance routines, and a variety of products that can simplify repair jobs. The 7.3 would be easy to get ahold of and it would be easy to replace. International commercial truck parts can be used during different rebuilding, maintenance, and repair situations. Thanks marko! You bring up a really good point, and something I haven't considered. On the firewall there is another sheet metal plate that covers where the back end of the engine would come through the firewall. Instead of a dog house you can see a sheet metal plate on the floor where the stick shift would have come out of the floor. You can see on the floor and firewall where it fit on v-8 powered chassis. In order for them to fit there was a fiberglass dog house inside the cab that covered the back two cylinders of the block. Since the torque curve and redline are very similar you shouldn't even have to do any revalving to make the transmission work.Īlso, as far as fitting, the dt360 and dt466 were optional engines in that chassis. The allison you have should be a direct bolt to the 7.3l. With all of the banks products out there you can hot rod a 7.3l that would turn your truck into a rocket. I can't imagine you can find any now that isn't a smoker, leaker, and/or rod knocker.Īs far as swaps are concerned, why not put in a 7.3l? The 7.3l was a very common engine in that chassis and has about the same amount of hp and torque as the 9.0l.
