I've noticed alot of 6.9 idi ford motors going for less than half what most 6.2's are going for in my area. I have experience with the idi and COULD hvae a donor if my dad puts his nissan motor in the f350. The real question is how much weight can the d44hd handle?
Thanks in advance,

Re: 6.9 idi weight concerns
Well...a dana 44, by definition, is rated at 4400 lbs, if I remember right. The HD adds beefier tubes, so I'm sure you can pad that number up a bit, maybe to 5k lbs? (I'm sure there's a hard rated number around somewhere). For reference a D60 is rated for 6k lbs, I believe. So the D44HD is somewhere in between there.

Re: 6.9 idi weight concerns
It's the torque rating that's worrisome. 300lbs of motor plus filters and batteries
