What happened to you is not common. 6.9s and 7.3s up to early 1994 are basically the same engines. 7.3 has a slightly bigger bore. Most easily outlasted the trucks they were in. At least here in NY since the trucks rust out something awful. That being said, I come across good running 6.9s and 7.3s often, for less then $500.
That would be the way I'd fix it.
I would not be afraid to stick a turbo on a NA 7.3 either. When Ford first did it, they used ATS turbo kits, often dealer installed. When Ford sold factory installed turbos, they were detuned ATS sytems and the 7.3s got a little beefed up to handle boost, but not by much. My 94 with a factory turbo makes 7 PSI of boost max. Has over 300K miles and no internal work has ever been done to the engine.
The Powerstroke 7.3 that came out mid-1994, is quite different then the IDI 7.3, and would take some doing to get swap one in.
In regard to getting 20 MPG? Good luck. Maybe with tall gearing, and a wind at your back on a highway cruise. My 94 has gotten a high of 18 MPG, but that's with an E40D trans and 4.10 axles. That is in the flatlands of northern Michigan. In NY, it usually got 15-16 MPG on highway trips. My 92 Dodge-Cummins with 3.50 axles and a Gertrag 5 speed has gotten 21 MPG.

She smoked terribly and never had much power but he couldn't afford another so he was limping along with what he had. Jon's Allis has a small front loader and though it doesn't carry much, it serves his needs. It was the hard starting and low power that made him think it was time to replace the old girl. Jon called me to help him discover why his tractor wouldn't start
