im happy with the 20's i got when it ran. i just studded and oringed the damn thing so i really need to find a good bottom end floatin around for cheap but cheap and cummins is an oxymoron

by **DTanklage** » Mon Feb 04, 2008 1:08 pm

honestly, i would look for a good deal on a 2nd gen

you can steal the rr end out of it, the 4500 if ya get a manual, all the p-pump p[arts, and there is your killer bottom end

and they are cheap right now

sorry to hear about the devistation

well the 06 vette still lost in front of like 40 people so it was worth it. im goin to look at a wrecked 96 4x4 for 1800 if it still runs im buyin it

so your not stickin with a ve sorry to hear that

i just got mine up and running today
i cant belive how quiet it is with the twins, but i have one problem

i started the truck let it run for a little while played with the pettle 2000rpms are so then i left it fo a minut then shut it off, i go back 5 mins later and the truck wont start i got fuel pressure going to the ic pump but no start any suggestions

by **ford69557ci** » Mon Feb 04, 2008 3:34 pm

no if it runs i will be just using the block and rotating stuff from the p pump engine and addin that extra stuff to the pile of p pump stuff i have layin around. i have spent to much on the ve so far lol. hows your hot rod ve comin along?

by **cummins king** » Mon Feb 04, 2008 8:03 pm

its ready to go just waiting for the cam i cant seem to find one anywere, if i had one it would be done,
i found a spring loaded seal that will work but i have to bore the of the pump out 1 mm to fit, so if you seal is an exact fit i would like to try the one you found first, any part numbers would be much appreciated
