This should be in the 94-98 section...thats where the P-pumpers are

My guess is... 8.3L pump is gonna be hard to make work.

pump may be a pain as stated, also get lines, pump to block brackets, oil line for pump, it tee,s off vacuum pump line. hopefully you got the grear housing,not just cover. lines to and from fuel filter/ lift pump too. they cost alot to buy. ive done the conversion, not too hard using dowells to hold lifters. you need to cut away some lifter gally insulation as well on the side of the block. i had a complete donor motor, alot cheaper and easier. after doing swap i actually changed back to ve pump. you also need injector lines and p-pump injectors, or at least bodies.
