I started the swap earlier, im gonna wait till it cools down a little outside to proceed. I have only taken the bumper off so far. Will post pics as I progress.

Got a chunk of it done this evening. Pulled the radiator, intercooler, and crossmember off.[ATTACH]5597[/ATTACH]Pulled my balancer and found out why my oil pan is always oily[ATTACH]5598[/ATTACH]After pulling all the bolts holding the gear cover on, I put the balancer back on to set the motor to TDC.[ATTACH]5599[/ATTACH]Next, I pulled the pump nut and gear[ATTACH]5600[/ATTACH][ATTACH]5601[/ATTACH][ATTACH]5602[/ATTACH]My key way would not come out but I rotated it to the top anyway[ATTACH]5603[/ATTACH]Pulled the intake and apps[ATTACH]5604[/ATTACH][ATTACH]5605[/ATTACH]Pulled the valve cover and rockers off, kept them in order so I shouldn't have to adjust the valves when I'm done[ATTACH]5606[/ATTACH][ATTACH]5607[/ATTACH]I put the gear cover and valve cover back on before I came in for the night. I will get out early tomorrow and pull the lines, pump and cam.

Awesome what setup you plan on running? I may do this as a winter project to mine

I have an 854 pump so its a 160 or 175, we thought it was a 180. Waiting on my 4gsk and .024 dv's, gonna stick with the 7x.010 injectors for now. Pulled my vp today and its already gone

Factory size lines?? Did you pull all the parts or buy them?

I went with .084 lines from DAP, they are Scheid lines as all of them are but cheaper and free shipping from DAP.I pulled most of my other parts.

Got some more progress done today. Started at 6:30 this morning and came in about 6:30 this evening, I'm beat!Got some 1/2" dowels and ground the end off to a little point and jabbed them in the tappets, also used small hose clamps/ zip ties to be safe. Dropped the cam holder into the oil pan right off the bat, but was able to recover it with my tiny pen magnet and Jesus on my shoulder[ATTACH]5610[/ATTACH][ATTACH]5611[/ATTACH][ATTACH]5612[/ATTACH][ATTACH]5613[/ATTACH]I worked about 2 hrs scraping the old seal off the block and using my shop vac simultaneously so no junk fell in the pan. Got the p- pump gear housing on and put the cam back in[ATTACH]5614[/ATTACH]Got my rockers and push rods put back in, in the same spot they came out.[ATTACH]5615[/ATTACH] Got the 12v tappet cover on with new sealing washers, also pulled the stock lift pump and put a big block Chevy fuel block off plate over the whole that the stock lp covered.[ATTACH]5616[/ATTACH][ATTACH]5617[/ATTACH]Got the cover put on so no elements get to the insides while I wait on parts[ATTACH]5618[/ATTACH]

Coming along great!!! Around how much will you have in it selling your old stuff??

I'm not sure yet. I will give a price when I get it on the road.

:stuned:FUN!

Hope you like yours better than I liked mine, I had my 01 around 650 hp for 4 years and loved it, popped the engine being a dumbass kid, converted to a p-pump when I built the engine. I liked the p-pump so much I now drive a ford. It made great top end power but everything else really suffered though.

Ryan explain the gear changes and why you have to pull the cam ...?

More details ? Guessing you mean smoke and fuel mileage ?

Have to pull the cam to get the gear housing that the pump mounts to off. You have to use a 12v housing because the mounting bolts are different between the vp and p7100. I would love to have got a new performance cam but it just was not in the cards now. I'm sure it will smoke more than I want but my vp did that too.

Got what I could done Sunday, figured how the pump mount went and got the t for the oil feed installed

And got my newly re sealed vacuum pump mounted

And last but not least, got my new purdy set on for the mean time

I'm still waiting on fuel lines, my fass and the oil feed line and fittings. I want to give a big thanks to Eric at Vulcan for helping me on his own time today, I have not spent money with him in months an he has helped me more than other folks that have my money right now.

:pant:Moving pictures will be mandatory!!! :hyper:I live through you...

low end grunt, like straight out of the floor grunt where you can put it in gear and let the clutch out was gone, I hate smoke so I spent weeks tuning the afc to get it clean which made it laggy, mileage with the vp on the highway was never under 18 usually closer to 20, p7100 never got better than 15, egt's became hard to control, it was a monster when my foot was on the floor, and a turd the rest of the time. I blame most of it on the static timing, it makes everything a comprimise. It did make 560/1198 with a little 62mm turbo, so like I said it ran good full tilt. It just wasn't fun to drive anymore and pulling a trailer was a nightmare. I've still got the engine, no idea what I'll do with it though.

I'll trade you...
