Yes it is! I think it's the one and only one ever done yet.

**Dieselwrencher** · 01-04-2012, 05:18 PM

Today I got the injection pump on today. (That's going to be a biatch in the truck by the way!) I also go the injection lines put on. That was fun.

I cleaned up my vacuum pump/power steering pump, installed it. I had to find a 1/8" pipe T and cap for my oil pressure feed line for the vacuum pump. Got that all done too. I'll have to remove the vac/ps pump later and rebuild the vacuum pump. Here's my new valve cover too.

I have to clean more pieces and get them painted. Once I get the engine adapter on, I'll remove the front clip from the truck and get this sitting in between the frame rails and start on the cross member.

Looking Good, Ryan!

STOCKISH · 02-05-2012, 03:03 PM

Good work man, cant wait to get back on my CCSB project.

STOCKISH · 02-06-2012, 10:39 PM

Wait, wait, wait. A VE pumped 24 Valve! I dont know how I missed that. Thats freakin cool! I need a Cummins/auto combo something bad! Nice work man.

1985-GMC · 01-04-2012, 05:24 PM

Yeah I was going to say ive never heard of that swap before. Im really interested now to see what kind of numbers it will put out. Isn't the record like 700hp on a VE 12V fuel only?

What are you doing for injectors?

Yeah, I think it's around there with a 14mm VE. Since this is the wife's truck, it won't be a huge power house. I'd like it to be around 300-350HP to the rear wheels. It has 7x.012 injectors in it that are built in house, and the pump is turned up. I have another pump at the pump shop that has a 3200 govonor spring in it and has been rebuilt. Just have to wait for them to finish it up. My plan for now is to run a HX35W with a 14cm exhaust housing. That will help out top end and won't get as hot either. Should make for a great towing combo too.

1985-GMC · 01-04-2012, 05:56 PM

Well even at 300-350hp its really cool man!

I just did a quick search here's a guy that was thinking about doing this swap... http://www.cumminsforum.com/forum/89...-24v-work.html

and maybe another > http://www.dieseltruckresource.com/d...-t288083.html?

I wouldn't listen to the folks on CF about this, they will have you blowing up your truck in under 5 miles...

Nice to see no one followed through lol And I know Schied said they were the first VE 24V Conversion lines thy had ever bent, and they bend a ton of lines.

**Dieselwrencher** · 01-04-2012, 06:02 PM

Some think and talk, some do.

1985-GMC · 01-04-2012, 06:20 PM

haha

Wait

**Dieselwrencher** · 01-04-2012, 06:31 PM

I wasn't referring to you.

**Dieselwrencher** · 01-05-2012, 04:29 PM

I got the harmonic balancer, engine adapter plate, and fuel pump block off plate installed this morning. Then I had to clean up the bay enough to get this thing inside the shop.

Started removing front clip to get ready to set engine in it's new home.

We pushed the truck in the shop and rolled the front of the frame right under the engine. Now the fun part comes. I'm going to have to notch my front cross member and brace it according. Then I can start building an engine cross member and get the mounting ears made up. Right now it's just sitting on the cross member and a big jack stand.

madcow75 · 01-05-2012, 05:16 PM

Wow, now thats tight on clearances. Looks keep up the good work. At the rate you are going you will be driven her by the end of the week

.

tecky11 · 01-05-2012, 08:34 PM

almost looks like mine

**fakerwade** · 01-06-2012, 03:03 AM

WOW Ryan, another wicked build,,,just read about your other build a couple of days ago. Your engine looks great!! How does it feel to be a Pioneer??? Can't wait to see how she turns out!!

**Dieselwrencher** · 01-06-2012, 03:20 AM

Thanks Wade. It'll feel great to be able to pull it out of the shop without a chain or guys pushing it.

**Dieselwrencher** · 01-06-2012, 07:09 PM

The last few nights on my break at work I started polishing my intake plate and valve cover. What do you think?

I started to trim my cross member in the front and eventually wacked it out. I was going to try to install this engine with a mechanical fan. However, I forgot that I have a return line that comes out of the back of the head. If I ever want to get it off or repair it if needed, I had to bring the engine forward to be able to do so. Oh well, I like electric fans any how.

I put a bare trans housing in there to see how it's going to fit. I'm going to have to either cut and modify a floor pan brace, or lower the rear of the engine to be able to install the over drive housing and transfer case on the transmission. We'll see what I come up with.

I also have to watch the front differential because this engine has a huge oil sump on it. I may have to add a 4th leaf to these springs if they don't like the weight and I'm not happy with the clearance I'll have after the weight of the power train is on the chassis.

Tomorrow I'm going to start building the engine cross member. It's going to be a PITA because this oil pan is deeper through out the entire length compared to 2nd gen dodge pans. I'm also going to redo the front cross member and build a steering box brace and integrate it into the front cross member some how.

**fakerwade** · 01-06-2012, 09:49 PM

MMMMMM,,,polished parts!!! Looks real good! Nice tight fit on that engine.

Yes it is a tight fit. I need a magic wand.

Looks like you were busy today. The polished valve cover will be cool! Looking good man.

Yes I was and will be all weekend trying to make this less of a yard ornament.

tecky11 · 01-07-2012, 12:19 AM

tell me what the secret to squeezing it in is

Maxxd07 · 01-07-2012, 01:02 AM

Looking good, moving along nicely. VE 24v? Some would say you need to have your head inspected, others will say how unique, way to think outside the box. I would love to sell my Dmax and build a daily driver like such with a P-pumped 24v with a 6spd handshaker, but I dont have the time and these newer diesels move pretty well stock and with a plug in can move even better for a 7500lb vehicle.
