I would build the 12v. Later 24v heads have valve seats, that personally scare the crap out of me.

Whats the point of a 24v if your just gonna put the primitive p-pump on it? Not knocking it, just asking whats the point overall if your gonna turn a modern block into an oldschool mechanical injection motor

And this is worth the hassle of converting the entire motor to p-pump?

24v block ppump and an 04.5 and up common rail head you get the best of all three and its been done

And its only a hassle if the motor is in the truck but its still worth it

CR heads are the best for a street truck that isn't going to have the intake milled off and ported all the way. The headgasket will need to be modified.

On a 24 valve block it bolts right up you do however have to have the water ports in a CR head opened up some other then that there's no machine work needed
