Ford 7.3 Diesel...only 185 HP
Hard to believe that the first 7.3 was only 185 horsepower. Was also IDI (In Direct Injection) and non turbo for those who were not paying attention to diesel powered trucks back in the late 80's.:...

The trick with the older Cummins engines is to goose them a little bit. They are not under powered then.
I refuse to pay $50k or better for a TV that sees about 5k miles a year. My 215HP 98 Cummins now carries ~350HP and ~650FTLBS with very little investment. I'll have to find a dyno around here to get some real numbers, but a Banks kit that includes trans protection, some better injectors and a BHAF mod is all that has been done. Poor little thing just flys under the radar, looks bone stock.
