Old 7.3 came out with 215hp. Wasn't till 2000/2001 they bumped it to 250hp.
HP depends what state it was bought. I think TX had the most HP and CA the least.
I have a couple 1996 year 7.3 crew cab manual 4WD.
Bought a chip programmer $200 plugs into ECM and gets ALOT of power. Only limited by the injectors.
BTW paid under 7 grand with low miles 150 and 3 grand for one with 300
Get 18-20 MPG FWY and 15-16 pulling steel 6 place trailer.
Its loud ugly and rides like an old wood bleacher … and when I damage it peanuts to fix.
Thinking about propane injection. My buddy gets over 25 unloaded and 18-20 loaded.
