Haha thanks Rolland, how was your trip over Chrismas, i wish i would have stayed in PA, oklahoma gets me in to much trouble

 

Its not the state Mat, ITS you!! LMAO!!!

 

Ya thats what some ppl have been telling me LMAO!! I dont see how i got in trouble again when my truck was in PA

 

Hey, the Matt unit is alive & well! Glad you made it back to PA - hope they don't extradite you...

BTW, I figured out trouble doesn't show up around your trucks... only when your Check Liver light is on!

 

Haha thats funny Mike, but maybe true Ya everything is going great in PA it is snowing pretty good rite now tho

 

Alright guys.. Been under progress for a couple weeks now and she finally ran today... Didn't have any time to work out the kinks, but she is idling smooth...

Custom 7x14 injectors
Half cut DVs
.084 lines and connector tubes and Holders to match
Pump balanced and calibrated.. fuel a good bit more than stock fuel
4k GSK kit
Cam sensor relocate for the tach
Relocated ECM
and more crap!


Have to hook up the AFC and wire in the shut off solenoid yet and aside from lots of tuning I'm sure she is close to being good to go...

No order on the pics.. Just whatever way they loaded in photobucket! bear with me...

12V front cover on and painted... You may notice my new color scheme... The cam sensor relocate was already installed..



Installing the 4K GSK kit...



Pump all pretty and painted... Had a shop in Lewisville do a balance and calibrate for me



Lots of nice room in there without the front end!!



Pump in and mounted with the cleaned up and painted front cover on... New front seal of course..



Fan making things look ugly



Brought out the big guns to torque that nut for me...

 

We will talk about those dang lines later... Nice painted intake...



Relocated ECM... Not too bad.. worked well actually




Need a new linkage rod... This one is rigged...



Ghetto TDC finder and timing holder installed in #1 DV


Coming Back Together...






Have more pics and some vid clips I may get on later in the week... Been selling stuff off of that old 12V and parts from my truck... So far I am out about $700-$1000 for the whole shebang... Have lots of parts left to sell as well... Hmmm lightly used VP44


hmmm me tired, tell me what you think, later!

 

Brian.............all I have to say is WOW!!!!


"P-Pumped" 24 valve huh??

..

 

Yep just trying to keep up with you Robert!
Actually almost guaranteed you will always be above my power level now... Toning things back a bit... Shooting for a consistent 500...

 

Great job! I've been wondering when the conversion would start. I have a few questions, but will save them for later.

 

Some members will do anything to avoid buying a new VP-44!
Sounds like the cost, after parts sale (including the Adrenaline), will work in your favor... but had to be the curiosity factor and a labor of love!
Nobody would go that far just to get rid of an electronic injector pump.

What Plate you running? Expecting more smoke in warmer weather?

Great pics. Looks like the usual (from Brian) top notch job!

RJ

 

Looks great Brian - good job!

p.s. Nice guns on that mechanic of yours, too...

 

ok....now i see why you never returned my calls until late last night when i was working on the V-Dub with that fun little cable you gave me!!!! haha....

Looks good....we'll talk cam plate later.......

 

Probably dumb question but.... I thought the timing gear came out completely?
But it appears to drive the P-Pump... correct? Drives the Delivery valves???
