oooooohhh, i have seen the previous mechanical version of that before. skip the injection pump in favor of multiple hydraulic amplifiers. diesels have some really cool tech.

Motor work is coming along nicely, almost ready for reassembly.
I got my upgraded headlights last night, the led lights I was running where not bad but the new ones are amazing. Second pic the new one is on the passenger side. Last 2 pictures that is only low beam. Attachment 2215463 Attachment 2215464 Attachment 2215465 Attachment 2215466 Attachment 2215467 |

I Agree Jim
So My son and I are heading to the AD Nationals in one week!! Maybe I will see some of you there? My truck will have over 26,000 great miles on it, most of it pulling our camper. This trip will be the last with this motor setup. Attachment 2217177 |

The AD Nationals had a cruise of 17 trucks Friday eve drive half hour to a small cruise night. We had a small casualty on the cruise (oil pressure switch let go)but got it fixed easy and then we hung out at the fairgrounds till after midnight. I got the long distance award, 508mi to get there and peoples choice top 10. We did 1065mi on the trip 18.5hrs of driving, my son William and I had a great time.

So I got the cylinder heads back, all the vales and some of the valve seats had to be replaced due to the seat faces being pitted. Probably from getting to hot due to egt temps. This motor did not have a intercooler. But all fixed up now. started to get some of my go fast bits installed.

Re: My 52 GMC Build

that blue looks pretty solid against the AL, it's going to strand out something crazy against your black n red oxide truck. didn't o-ring the heads while they were off? what kind of power are you shooting for? |

Well after taking some time to work on our new cargo trailer camper while the weather was nice, I'm back on the motor swap. I got the upgraded injectors and push rods all in and new exhaust up pipes in and wrapped. Regulated fuel return system all in, the motor is together. Then I started pulling the truck apart, I'm sad and excited all at the same time.

Well 7.3L idi diesel and transmission are out and 7.3L powerstroke is set in-ish. I will need to cut some of the fire wall at the top as well on the drivers side a bit. The motor is sitting on the motor mounts but needs to go back 1". Now to pull under the dash apart and remove all the wire to do with the old motor, then I can cut.
