in-line eight cylinder pump to replace stock rotory pump

[hypermax22]

i was just thinking about it what do you think?

It's not a bad idea, unfortunately you'll need to build a new intake manifold to accomodate the pump.

i figured that but man would it be bad i have only seen one so far so i know it can be done

Why not a V8 configuration pump from a 3208? It might come close to clearing the intake...

I've got a 8 cyl bosch inline pump... I got it off of a Deutz diesel on ebay. If I can't get what I wan't from the stanadyne pump it's my backup.

If your a machinist, and don't mind cutting your own gears, there seems to be no limit to what kind of pump you could put on. Inline pumps are generally too long for our application.

hmmm,Custom stainless tube intake.......IP the size of the starter.....Enough fuel to sink a battle ship! OH YEA!!!!!!

 

[hypermax22]

lol i reckon it would sink a battle ship but it would be hell in a truck hoooooooooo look out rings about to get a wash job just think of the power that you have if you could get the fuel delivery right

IVECO in the mid-80's had a 17L V8 Turbodiesel for their Turbostar line of trucks that used an inline pump. This thing was huge. Of course that V8 had nearly 500hp for those high alpine passes.

Shame they weren't in major circulation here in the States, they were an excellent engine.
