I don't work with him but I know who he is, I've seen him around but mostly just know him from social media. He's a character though.
OP, do you know the folks at LD Diesel or whatever it's called there on 127 near Mercer Co.? They're into their Fords, though I think they favor the 7.3L?
A good bit up the road in NKY are some diehard Ford boys at MPH Diesel. IDK where they stand with the 6.0L though.
Of course you could head south to Swamps or Beans. Both know their way around a Powerstroke and could get you the right engine, fuel & turbo parts to do whatever it is you're wanting to do.
