6.9L IDI swap into a 92-96 F150 4x4

Has anyone here put a 6.9L IDI in a 92-96 F150 4x4???....I have a 221K 6.9/C6 and I was thinking about the swap into my 96.....Does anyone know what a 6.9 weigh's or any issues to overcome with a swap like this besides the usual engine mounts, springs, rad and etc?...I'd just like to discuss the angles to see if this is doable.

Yup, it's doable. Yer gonna want to join up and start reading the IDI section of www.oilburners.net Guy named Agnem did a IDI swap into his 88 bronc.

Cool, thanks for the tip. I was reading that a IDI 7.3 weighs 860lbs dry while my little 302 weighs 450lbs....LOL

There might be some issues with a 96 because of the OBD-II electronics. You might have more luck with a slightly older truck.
