01’ 24 valve swapping in a 93’ 12 valve

[wolfdog]

Hello, I just joined this site after my searching has brought me here several times. I’ve read a few of the write ups by mopar1973man. I decided I could really benefit and hopefully contribute to the wealth of knowledge here! I have had this 01’ 24 valve since 08’ she’s been worked hard and now the 2nd vp44 has bit the dust at 250k miles.  I have a 93’ 12 valve engine(ve pump) with only 78k miles just begging to go to work. It has 3k gov. spring, fuel pin/afc mods, 5x.012 injectors, and he351 turbo. The 01’ is an auto, 47RE ATS stage 5. So I’ve been reading up on the sensors, communications, between the ecm, pcm trying to figure out the logistics of this swap. I’ve done several cummins swaps, just not anything computer controlled. From what I’ve gathered so far, if I can generate a throttle position signal, and cam shaft position signal  the pcm should control lock up/ overdrive. Gauge cluster should work and ecm or pcm … should command charging. This is all just preliminary plan before I tear things down. As of now I’m thinking a tone ring from destroked, mounted on the balancer for the cam sensor. They have one that has 60 notches minus two, which seems to me to mimic the notches on back of the vp44 gear. And then adapting tps sensor from either 12 or 24 valve to the ve pump linkage. And throttle valve cable from 47RE should match up to linkage on ve . Does this sound like I’m on the right track?  Hoping to leave the ecm from 24 valve in truck to control grid heater, AC clutch, and  whatever else.. I apologize if this information is already here somewhere, please point me in the right direction! I’m happy to study up. Thanks, Doug

I'm going to have to think about this being right off your going to have issues with several error codes that might impact communications. Let me catch up later after getting my customer truck done.

[Great work!]

60 - 2 is what the Ford computer expects to see. You need 36 - 1 for the cummins computer or 72 tooth on the cam which runs half speed so the signal looks like 36 tooth to the computer but has the missing tooth every 720 degrees of crankshaft turn.

Not the VP44 gear but the cam gear. The 1st gen has a single tooth notch in the dampener to provide tach signal. Where the cam gear has the multitooth tone wheel.

Yes, my mistake. The cam gear not pump gear, from an 01’, would have the 60-2 teeth correct?
