The flywheel housing on the a2 8.3's are SAE #2 bolt circle, but are unique to the Allison trans that is behind them, as they are not "standard" depth. They are approximately 1" deeper to make room for the large Allison torque converter. So, with that, on any other engine you'd slam in there...

Update, he found out this may not work. 4 bolt mount pattern is different. Symmetric on MW, not symmetric on this particular P-7100 pump. Guess this one goes to eBay.

Here are pics of the outbound pump. Connectivity looks near exact same as MW, regarding fuel inlet, outlet, bleed screw, mounting, etc. Noted differences are pump oil supply fitting (block side of pump), shut-down solenoid (just bracket in this case, needs 24v solenoid), possibly governor...

I like that switch setup. $89 on eBay?

No way. See it, drive it, video it, I’ll pull it, fasten it to a pallet, and drop off at a shipping terminal. Complete minus fan clutch. Includes modern gear reduction starter, 130 amp high output alternator, and serpentine driven A/C compressor. If the Road Ranger trans fits and works, the...

Cute. It’s an ISX Signature 600hp non-EGR engine. Could push the entire intersection of cars up onto the lawn. I’m listing my current 6CTA8.3 in the classifieds. That should get me motivated for the ISL/13 speed transplant.

Interesting path. It still has full length frame rails. I’d need a front axle, steering parts, transfer case, and a cab.

TBD, we’re about to find out. They look nearly the same, inline pump made by the same company, so maybe just a matter of the nut thread type. Even of mot, Cummins civilian on-road 8.3’s use P pumps, so lines are available and probably not expensive. This will be interesting to watch, I hope it...

Going to send him the 5.9L P pump to try. If works, then pay. Also going to pre-cut a mounting gasket for him to seal off the oiling port in the 8.3L timing case. MW injector lines may or may not fit, TBD. Install sequence: Rotate engine to #1 TDC (compression not exhaust), push in timing...

I have two Bosch P-7100 "P" pumps. One is off an 8.3L, and one is off a 5.9L. I am keeping the 8.3L one until I have my ISL conversion complete. I would sell the 5.9L one immediately. It came from a truck salvage yard, with a 90 day guarantee, so it should be good. The only difference...

Throw a piece of clear tube on the outlet, see if any air bubbles.

I just like to keep all of you in suspense.

Whoa, a message from the Gods! Excellence. Now it needs to happen. Noted, thanks. Plan to move the hot water heater to under the pass seat (shorten the core box). Use the fuel fired for initial, and hot water as maintain. Window is thermostat as you mentioned.

Cummins 6CTA8.3 service manual states mechanical lift pump should be pushing minimum 20psi of fuel pressure at high idle. Mechanical pump volume flow test with open hose into container is 150ml (5oz) at 30 seconds of cranking with fully charged batteries and minimum 120rpm crank speed. I don't...

Yes. Yes.

Awesome sauce. Really need to quit leaving the keys in these trucks. Geez...

Cascade flush works excellent.

Apology, I thought that pic was associated with another member's name. My memory is terrible though. I'd be further ahead if I just kept my mouth shut.

How did you get your screen name changed? Or did you steal somebody else's photo, which looks familiar.

OK, I just did. I can't find the ignition key anywhere in that book either.
