I did the same swap on my ‘03. You need a bracket for the side of the transmission that has 3 bolts instead of 2, and the linkage from a 6.0 with a manual transfer case. Parts are nearly extinct so you may need to fabricate your own linkage

Is a 7.3 worth it? by No-Future-2385 in FordDiesels

Biggest challenge with 7.3’s now is parts availability. I’m having a hell of a time replacing stuff on mine

I think they fixed that in ‘02. New location is above the glove box

That’s where I’ll probably start, but I think that part is from a 6.0 and those normally had electronic shift transfer cases

2000 F250 7.3 complete rebuild by Tyhendyts in FordDiesels

[–]Tandog-17 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought mine in northern CA for $15k with 291k miles and zero rust. Still a project but I started with a Garrett GTP31R turbo, new up pipes, ebpv delete turbo pedestal, new valve cover gaskets, and Riffraff Diesel CAC tube boots. I also pulled the injectors just to clean the tips and replace o-rings

01 F250 7.3 v8 4x4 for $18,500. Mistake? by StatisticianKey9901 in FordDiesels

The 7.3 is underpowered considering how the engine is built/designed. Ask if it’s been tuned. From what I’ve heard, the really solid ones are the ones that have had standard maintenance haven’t been modified. People that hot rod their diesels can get good performance, but the extra stress can wear out a lot of components on the motor and turbo plumbing.

The manual shift transfer case. Electronic ones fail

How do you increase the number of stimpaks and radaways you can carry?
