24v to 12v swap?
I'm thinkin about changing out my 1999 24v with a 1997 12v with the Bosch injector pump. I originally wanted a 12v model truck but got such a great deal on my truck, I couldn't pass it up. I will need to change out the engine no matter what, or at least do a rebuild, so I was going to go with the engine I originally wanted.
I'm looking for any and all good input. I won't need the computer with the 97 engine correct? As far as I know it'll run as a purely mech. engine. Is there anything I'd need to alter in the wiring harness?

You will have to provide power to the fuel solenoid on the p pump. The pickup for the tach is different also. I believe the 24 valve uses cam sensors and the 12 valve uses a pickup on the crank. The sending units for the 24 valve should just be able to thread into the 12 valve block for your gauges, tho. Hope this helps

I went to a couple dealer I use with good prices, then I checked out Amazon.com
You can get it for anywhere form 126.00+ 10.00 shipping up to about 180.00+ shipping.
Go to Amazon for the best price, type in Autometer 2888 anywhere you check if your interested. The guage comes with the clamp-on pick-up..........Whew, I'm done! Oh, one more thing, the tach can be calibrated to make up for diff. size alternator pulleys and so on. Which was my main concern when my son first told me about it.

If it 's a 53 block like mine was, it's prob. got a crack in it !!!
