Fummins Build

Here we are at the start of rebuilding a 24 Valve into a P-Pumped, twin-turbo cruiser/camper/worker/beater/fun truck (its got a lot to accomplish).

The truck started out as you see it, with a V-10 with a great sounding rod knock. I took care of that one morning by starting it up cold and throwing the fuel at it.  After creating a new "Crank Inspection Hole", I started to pull the "lightweight" V-10 out, to make way for the P-Pumped 24 Valve.

First thing was to tear it down and make sure everything was looking good.  While I was in there, I decided to replace the bearings, tappets, and add a performance cam. As well as some of the major gaskets and seals of course.

Our machine shop did a little bit of freshing up on the head, because some of the valves were slightly leaking. So in order to make them seal up properly, some of the valves were ground down, and re-seated.  And a through cleaning and valve seals were replaced.  A new head gasket went in, and the ATS headstuds were torqued down to 130 ft/lbs, in preperation for the compounds going on.

With everything sitting right and shiny new, I started the P-Pump conversion with a little baby 160hp P-Pump and schied diesel injection lines.  Injectors were sent of to have the pop-pressure set to 280 BAR to compensate for the P-Pump pressure, instead of the VP pop-pressure.  The Ford V-10 Alternator was also kept for a simple plug and play app.  Just had to fabricate some brackets to hold it.  Destroked was used for the motor mounts.  A the factory dodge adapter plate and starter were kept, in anticipation for an ATS trans with standalone valve body, billet input shaft and billet flex plate.  A custom power steering line was also made.

And here is what we are working with.  2000 Ford F-250 on 38's code name Turd Burgler.  Not pretty, but is gonna be a fun ride!
