Unless you plan to do forced induction on the 7.3 or build the motor, it’s probably not worth the headache to swap. You can make more power with tuned 2.7L for a lot less money, but I know people love the sound of a V8
Sound is everything. Idc how much power they claim the fart cans give the 2.3's, I ain't installing one for example. Despite plaids being faster than most non-boosted cars, I'd take "a slower car" w/a V8Unless you plan to do forced induction on the 7.3 or build the motor, it’s probably not worth the headache to swap.

I'm kind of over it at this point in my life. I like the sound of all motors if done right. I've heard plenty of crappy sounding 4,6, and 8 cylinder cars. Do V8's sound great when done right, absolutely, but I don't crap on everything else just because it's not a V8.
Look at that much better placement of the alternator.
I gotcha, just for example, Mom has a Range Rover w/a supercharged V8, love how it sounds the best out of all the cars in my household for example (not to mention sport mode pins me back from a dead launch)
1,000 hp / 876 torque out of the crate
Rather have a V12:No chance this Chevy 10.4L monster would fit
