Default P-pump Swap pics

I finished it up a couple weeks ago, but been busy with others trucks to get up the pics. The swap took me 4 days to do, was kinda difficult. I am really pleased with how everything wennt and runs now. But the truck seems to want to run hot while cruising (800 - 1100 deg). 800 deg. when on flat and 1100 when hittin grades and holding constant speed. Maybe I need to pull the fuel back some, but I didn't think that I had to much.

Here's the goodies:
160hp Pump Maxed out to 450cc's by Seth at DPE
Custom cut plate, 4K GSK, 191 DV's, Mack Plug, and Modded AFC

DDP Comp 250's set at VP pressures

E.D. 66/74/14 with Race cover

Colt Stg. 3 Cam 181/210 with Hamilton HD pushrods and 110 Springs

Hey, I am nothing but extremely pleased with my Allen Headbolts. They really compliment the engine well.

I try to keep it clean somewhat, need to redo the valve cover again. I really liked this upgrade, not saying the vp44 is junk. Just saying that this worth trying when you are ready for something more.

Thanks guys, I got to try it out towing a small load, a termmite and heavy friggin trailer. The truck did good, but it did run a lil hot egt wise. I didn't build it to tow so it dont matter, just helping a friend in need.

Tuning will be the longest part of the whole swap. That is alot of fuel you may try cutting it back. My setup is similar but a 913 pump and an S471 and my EGT's are way better. I have pulled a little but not over 10-11k yet. Swap looks good though and it can only get better with tuning.
