I'd cruise it, what trans is he running?

The 617 can eat a lot of air if you have the pump elements to support it. Those pumps are around, but pricey.

I got me a 7.5mm pump for my om603 and have way to much fuel for my he351cw

those 7.5's are only a grand, not to bad when a hopped up DB2 is 1500-2k

He's running a hopped-up pump from Sweden.

I don't know if you can tell from the pictures but that is an NA manifold with compound turbos and an intercooler. I'm going to send him a text and see if I can't get him to chime in here. He's a **** kid, took a job with NASA...

Is the element swap doable at home? I have never messed with these pumps, only seen the prices of the Swedish builds noted above.

im super green with the OM platform, still very little research done.
I have heard they are pretty easy to install once you rotate the engine correctly.
again, I havnt done it.

I've been telling myself an om617 is my next swap, but I keep watching all the cheap donor cars get sold without buying them...

mine was a impulse buy., 1200& trans was rebuilt 5000 miles ago. said to have a bearing noise in the engine.
also came with a rebuilt 617 long block.
I had the cash, I picked it up lol

Wow that's nice. I'm tempted to find a running donor up here and just drive it for a while honestly. There's a few of them, but none anywhere near that clean!

@saburai got any body shots of the 4 runner? Looks like a sweet setup.

I have a donor motor, but its in a wagon parts car. The wagon's have a hydraulic pump for the suspension built into the head so they are not just drop in.
My dream build is a jeep comanche and actually use the hydraulics in it.
But I have let lots of comanche's pass me by over the last couple years.
