VE 6.7 conversion

Cat makes a great paint,its durable,clean and looks good.It lasts along time,The pics are a bit decieving,its actually darker than the bright yellow you see,the flash is throwing the color off

Best introduction post ever!

Any grinding on the block to clear the injection pump? I know we had to grind a little bit off the side when we were playing with a VP timing case on a 5.9 CR block.

Great job! Cant wait to see the rest of this project. What are you putting it in?

I'm just thinking of all the oil leaks my 30k 12v already has and the painting it yellow :lolly: great build can't wait to see it done and a video of it running.

I did cut off a boss ,or a protrusion at the front upper edge of the block,took about 2 seconds,that was not really interferring with the pump,I just wanted the room,I also had to grind down an edge for the timing lock pin for the cam,Because I will be Using the 6.7 harmonic ballancer I will have to do some grinding at the bottom front of gear case I will get to that and post pics when I get to that. This engine will be going into a 2005 ,3500 backed with a 68RFE tranny. I had already converted the truck to a 68RFE tranny about a year and a half ago,it currently has one of my VE pumped 24 valves in it

Are you using ECM and factory gauges? I put a p pump 12v in an 03 and cannot get a tach signal.

Its not going in the dark green truck with no bumper,its going int the white one that may be visible in one of the pics

John, It'll be interesting to hear this one run.
Your VE 24 valve 5.9s have a sound all their own, I can only imagine the difference in tone with more stroke and a larger bore.

Its dark out,so the pics are not that great. This is the truck the 6.7 will be going into,The engine that is in it is the first VE 24 valve engine I did,so it never got painted up,I didnt know how well it was going to turn out,I have put alot of miles on it,done alot of pulling. Gets 23 miles empty and 14.5 loaded,sounds good. I have done several of these since for other customers,no complaints

Mark, I get a little more excited each day thinking about how it will do

First time John pulled up in that truck I did a double-take, because it was LOUD and in a Commonrail truck, then I remembered he was trying to build one.
I can attest to some of his ingenuity and his trial and error on that particular truck, it wasn't an overnight sensation. :hehe:

They definitely have their own sound.

Mark.

If you installed a 12 valve in the 03 you have to mount the tone ring from the common-rail onto the front of the harmonic balancer, you need the ECM and wiring.As long as you have that the truck will function like it should. Use the 03 oil,water temp sensors

Yup got all that tone ring bolted on balancer,tach sensor mounted and gapped at .20. Tone ring runs dead center of sensor anything else I'm missing?

Are you getting any readings on your ash at all with engine running or key on?

Welcome!

I'm liking this.

That motor's looking great! Pretty cool build.

Keep up the good work

I have pretty much finished the pump,I plan on doing the delivery valves tomorrow,so I will post a pic of the adaptor I have been making .I have come up with a better adaptor,one that is a little more user friendly.hope to be getting started tomorow

Are you keeping these stock like turbo and injectors? I would kill to get 23 mpg out of a ton truck! My 90 is about the best on fuel 18-20 with a lot of stop and go. The worst is the vp44 it gets like 9 down a hill with the key off lol.

This adaptor is the first one I experimented with,it is rough but will give you a idea of how it looksThis here is the adaptor I have been using for the past year and a half. It screws onto the VE delivery valve and the VP44 line screws onto it.No special tools are needed to make this but it requires alot of material. To make this style you need 3 VE injector lines and 6 VP44 delivery valves.I have never had any problems with this adaptor,its just they take so much time to build.I will try and explain how to make this style.
#1 Take injector lines,slide nuts out away from tips,make nice clean cuts. cut 1- 1/8th " off. You want to end up with 6 tips and 6 nuts( as seen in pic #4)
#2 Take VP44 delivery valve,you want the end that the VP44 line screws onto,so cut it off just beside where you would put a wrench,you need 6 of these, ( as seen in pic #5)
#3 Take a 1/4" drill bit ,drill a hole in center all the way threw the VP44 end
#4 Take a 7/32" drill bit ,drill a 3/8 " deep hole on the cut side on the VP44 end,basicaly you are redrilling the same hole is in step 3 ,but only a shallow hole
#5 Take your VE stem,with nut in place,(as seen in pic 4),and pess into the VP44 cut end,the wrench ends will be flat against each other now.
#6 Weld a bead around the seem, Take 7/32 drillbit and smooth out the VP44 end that the injector line will screw onto
I will post Instructions on the new style of adaptor tomorrow,it is easyer
