[QUOTE="01FormulaTA, post: 16121861, member: 56228"] Any idea of weight for the 7.3? The Chevy 6.6 still has some good things going for it, while I have no doubt the 7.3 will make more power and torque, the 6.6 is still a small block so it’s going to be lighter and smaller and will be a popular Plug and Play swap bc it will drop right in to any 14+ 1/2 ton GM/Chevy truck with a V8 from the factory or any 16+ SS Camaro, also the 6.6 already has some aftermarket parts already available such as cam, heads, headers, etc since the Gen V LTX engines have been around since 2014... So the real question is how well will the aftermarket companies support the 7.3? Unfortunately EPA will prob prevent this engine from ever being put into a 1/2 ton truck or mustang. How easy of a swap will this be considering the mustang and F150 use PI/DI fuel system and this only uses PI? Will it be able to be use to F150/mustang PCM used for DOHC? How extensively will the engine harness have to be modified? Will the 8 bolt Flexplate accept a 10r80 torque converter? Just a couple questions off the top of my head... [/QUOTE]
