newbie with unique project

[91dirtydiesel]

Still need to get governor/housing for it but here it is

Sweet project. Good luck with the build.

sweet

nothing says dedication like an inline-8 pump sitting on the counter!

 

[Dazed&Confused]

I like the project. Be nice if you could find a 80-86 short bead. I hate seeing a nice old Ford redone and using a newer bed.

 

[91dirtydiesel]

Agreed, I sold the newer bed and im in the market for a older one

thought id give this a little update: frame is still needing to be finished, but that shouldnt take me long....will probably work on that tomorrow. ill get then engine+turbo kit parts back next week some time...then can start mocking up the pump!

this pump has turned into a bit of a hassle, finding more info out about it and its not promising AS IS, it will need a bit of work before it can be usable. this came off of a big generator so it has a really strange fueling set up...115cc of fuel at 600rpm engine speed...(when the generator is at "idle" with no load) and then the 340cc at 1400rpm engine speed..(when it has a load on it). it needs a new set of different barrels and plungers for it to drop the idle down to 15cc ish...it just so happens that i found a 160hp p7100 pump off a cummins for a "core" so i will snag the b&p's out of that and the governor unit off it as well. this pump is supposed to be here on the 12th. then i will need to find 2 more b&ps as i have 8 cylinders.

CTDyoungun has been a HUGE help giving me info on these pumps!

on another note, does anyone know if this ford 9" rear is the "big bearing" or "small bearing? axle?

I was wondering what you finally snagged for a pump, glad to see somebody still plays with idis.

Looking great! Get the pump figured out?

 

[91dirtydiesel]

Idi's arent extinct yet! Lol

And still learning about the pump, but it's getting there...has anyone installed a governor themself? Is it pretty straight forward or best to let a fuel shop take care of that?

Awesome project, ready to see where it goes.

Looks to be the big bearing rear.

To quote Forrest, "IDIIWHY?"

Actually I am a closet IDI fan. Love hate relationship. First truck was a beat up Ford 6.9 IDI and I really love them. Usually always have my window down when I see one in traffic.

Really cool build doing something different. Can't wait to see it with that Bosch pump and that turbo.

Me too, 6.9L/7.3L IDIs have a great sound to them.

I have always thought so as well. Friend in high school had a straight piped non-turbo 7.3 IDI, it was one of the loudest trucks I have ever heard in my life. It would blow some eardrums if you romped on it going past someone.

Idi's sound like a motor with a can of rocks in each cylinder! They disgust me... To each his own.

Every time i started mine up in the cold (anything below 60*) it sounded as if the world was ending.

A diesel engine disgusts you? Blasphemy!

Ahh I'm just kidding, but I don't guess I know a diesel engine sound that I just flat out dislike.... the 6.5 Chevy has always been one of my least favorites, its not an even or a constant sound, its really random, but I still like it better than the sound of most gassers.

But anyway, enough derailing this guys thread.
