Powerstroke Diesel 7.3

PowerstrokeDiesels

The very first fruit of this collaboration between Ford and International (part of Navistar) was the 420 cubic inch 8 cylinder engine with a vee configuration with a displacement of 6.9 Liters or 6900 cubic centimeters which was a far cry from the modern Diesel Powerstroke engine in every way. This pre Diesel Powerstroke engine produced 175 brake horsepower and 318 foot pounds of torque running on a compression ratio of 20.7:1. This engine featured indirect diesel injection or IDI, a very different system than the Powerstroke Diesel. This engine was distinguished by a mechanical nozzle injection system. The way this system worked was in a very different manner than today's Diesel Powerstroke. In that engine metered fuel would be entered into a tiny pre-chamber that was cast in the engine head and then it was injected mechanically into the combustion chamber at a point just a couple of degrees before top dead-center. Again different from the Powerstroke Diesel.
