I've managed to drop in my newly rebuilt 7.0 engine finally.(Bored out 6.9) I'm working on getting it all together...
The truck was originally a factory turbo(wastegated ATS) 7.3, on a E4OD, and now I've put in the 6.9 that was originally on a t-19. I'm not sure, but I may be the first to do this swap?! (I don't believe any 6.9's were mated to the E4OD.
So,
I'm not planning on putting the turbo on. I don't want a wastegated model.(planning on getting a Hypermax later if all goes well with the truck) So, the pump from the 7.3 is probably turned up for the turbo, although the truck never had a pyro in it. I want to get the engine running, but haven't got a pyro yet.
So, anyone have the ATS instructions that tell you how much to turn up the pump when you add a turbo to a stock n/a engine so I can find out how much to turn it back down, before starting it up, so I don't melt my new engine!! I'm not going to drive it hard for a while, till but even during the break in, ya gotta stand on it a few times...
Also, Anyone know if a stock "y" pipe for a 6.9 with t-19 would fit on a
E4OD, or is there some kind of clearance issue, and the "y" pipe is different between the t-19 and/or E4OD?
Since I'm on the subject, I also noticed that the 7.3 injection pump has the pulse adapter unit on the #1 injector. Since the adapter is about 3/4" long, I'm assuming that it has to go on the 6.9 as well, as high pressure line for that cylinder must therefore be 3/4" shorter than all the rest, and in order to remove the pulse adapter, I'd have to find a shorter line like one off a 6.9 pump!
I'm getting the plumbing together to get my pre-luber running, so that I can pressurize all the oil passages before the first time I hit that starter. That way all my lifters bearings etc will be well oiled before first start up, and always and forever after that. I'm going to plumb it into the filter header on the oil cooler so that it goes through the filter before going into the engine.
Today: Rad, powersteering pump, rockers, valve covers, tranny/engine dipsticks, water temp sensors and plugs, high idle sensor, heater fittings, serp belt tensioner and brackets for vacumn pump/alternater/fuel filter header brackets, oil pressure sensor lines and gauge, and starter.
Should be running soon.
