If you want to bore it out maybe the best idea would be to bore and sleeve the thing back to stock size so you can use stock pistons/rings. I think the problem you'd run into with off the shelf 6.7 parts is fitment and spray pattern / piston bowl issues as well.

IIRC it wont work. Crank is differant. The bowl in the piston is differant. You'd have to switch to a 24V head. Now you're into custom feed lines, crossover tubes, injectors.

It might be easier (and cheeper) to buy a used 6.7 and convert to p-pump.

The recipe I can see working is: 6.7 short block, 24 valve head and timing case, and a P-pump. Could be fun.

But a commonrail motor will make more HP.

I would say just rebuild it stock and use the bundles of extra money to buy twins and sticks and put the common rails behind you

I don't remember the particulars but, there is a truck in this month's Diesel Power with a similar combo. The owner uses it for sled pulling.
