just another converted chevy fan here, new to the list.<br><br>I'm building a custom c/k body style 4door short bed chevy with a cummins in it. I have a recked 94 dodge with all good running gear. So I was planning on putting all the dodge running gear into the chevy. <br><br>The main question I have is if it would be worth it to upgrade to the 24V block and head and put a mechanical pump on it, or just stay with the 12V I have and use that. Any input?

 

You can't just &quot;put on&quot; a mechanical pump. I talked to a DTR member (Jetpilot) who had this done to his truck, it involves a lot of custom machine work and is very expensive. It also does not improve performance until you get above 600 hp on #2. Unless you can find a good donor truck and are good at wiring, you should stick with your current plan - which sounds like a good one.

 

Ahhh, good input! I was under the impression that it was a bolt on replacement. Now I see the error of my ways.<br><br>I've heard of this JETPILOT guy before. How do I get in contact with him?<br><br>Thanks again for your input.

 

Send him a PM?

 

I would just stick with the 12v as it is. They are reliable, cheap to add power to, and alot less complicated.
