Where did you ever get that story from? 6.9 and 7.3 are basically the same engines and Ford did not make either of them. 6.9 is an International Harvester engine - and they created it from a gas engine format. And before someone starts yelling - NO - I'm not calling it a gas-diesel conversion. But IH had an existing gas engine that was used as the basic block "footprint." Powerstroke is the same basic engine - but changed from IDI to DI around mid-1994. 6.9 was and is a great engine - just as durable at the 7.3 and perhaps a little more so since it is not as prone to cavitation. But, not having a turbo - it's not very powerful. I still have my 85 F250 and it's been great. I also have a 94 7.3 turbo that is NOT a Powerstroke - last one they made I believe before going to DI. It has all kinds of power, just as efficient as the later Powerstroke, and parts are much cheaper for it. And, I am by NO means a Ford guy.
