    Turbo talk

    I bought an Edelbrock universal electric pump from O'Riley's. It's diesel specific. (Green) Mounted it on a home made bracket Inside the frame near the stock lift pump. Works great. EZ to prime after filter changes. Sent from my XT1710-02 using Tapatalk

    Swapping 351m with a 2001 7.3 powerstroke

    Wow, never seen that one before... One other variable is the early small block Ford's, the 229/260 and first 289 engines through 64 had a 5 bolt bell housing vs 65 and later Windsor engines had a 6 bolt pattern. The 5 bolt bell would fit in tighter spaces. Sent from my XT1710-02 using Tapatalk
