I'd love a p-pump, but i'd also be very happy with a VE pump....Don't want the headache of the vp44 (24valve)

Yea---probably won't get the mpg with the p and of course U won't have the benefit of "plug and play" for any enhancements. The VP44 has dynamic timing which p-pump doesn't. Anytime U want to tune it, U gotta pull the old tool box out. But hey...........that's why they put wheels on them tool boxes right:thumbsup:

BTW.. A while back, my cousin and I shoehorned a Cat 3208 into his 98 Ram.
 
I'm just giving you crap... :D

I would like to see it though...
 
yea..hehehe..I knew that. Just the same, I got him looking for them. He reminded me we did it in 1990. Engine came out of a 46" Hatteras that went down hurricane Gloria. Boat stayed on the bottom for 36 days before the company he owns salvaged it.

I remember that we had to cut the top of the fenders to clear the heads. LOL
 
How did you get the hood shut? I'm thinking thats a pretty big engine....

I didn't work on the project to that end. As I remember, the guy just wanted a truck that he could show off with at the tractor pulls. We had a friend that ran a spring shop in Washington D.C. (Martin & Boyd) wind a new set of springs. I think the beast weighed about 2000 lbs with turbo.
