2350 isx rebuild recommendations

Well the average N14 is too clapped out to be even remotely reliable nowadays. Price wise most likely 5-10 year old truck competes with N14 equipped scrap metal. Cylinder heads etc are reman and reman over couple of times. Injectors are re re re re re man couple of times already. New original parts are not being made most likely for those. Finding good injectors is really hard for N14 nowadays. Truck itself is rusty, lots of wiring issues. Faults are plentyful and hard to track down time wise.

Aftermarket engine parts do last better on old stuff, because there was no precise computerized combustion control so the mechanical side had to be made with safety margins strength wise to accomodate the vague combustion process.

Precise injections and also reduced rotating mass combined with shorter connecting rods helped to achieve way better fuel consumption. Maybe somebody who has got experience between N14 and ISX can tell the real world numbers.
