Thanks guys. I'll keep the pics coming as I go.

Jerry, I didn't go with a 7.3 for several reasons. The main reason is I have no extra 7.3 parts anymore. Another is parts are still pricey for a 7.3. Injectors, high pressure oil pump, ECM, IDM, turbo, I could go on and on. Plus the 7.3 won't get the mileage that the 5.9 will, and I'll have more power than a chipped 7.3. Also, with using the 47RH trans, there will be no stand alone controller, or throttle pressure sensor too mess with.
