Question about California trucks
#11
I was told the origonal owner pulled the motor to put a new oil pan on and painted the motor. but who knows. I have a number (TNV7.3C8DAAA) from the tag thats under the International name, going to see if it turns up anything. Where would I look for say an engine serial number to see what it is. Would a bus motor bolt to a e4od without some mods?
As for the pre filter ya lost me-pre filter on what?

Best thing to do would be pull a valve cover and see what injectors are in it.

I'm just gonna pull a valve cover off when I get time - theres to many people who say yes and even more saying no. I don't recall seeing anything else on the fuel bowl but I'll look harder tomarrow plus now that I know the fuel pump is under the spider I'll check for the "spaceship" to at least end the single vs split shot question.

i know another difference betweem the cali spec and 49 state trucks is the spring in the FPR. the fuel pressure was bumped up on the cali models. there is a seperate part number for the cali spec fpr kit. i came across this looking for info on doing a fpr shim, and someone listed the different part numbers. im not sure what the difference is pressure is, but i will probably be buying the cali spec spring to help smooth out my idle..
oh.. and another thing i just remembered - the timing is different for engines that use single shot vs split.. one uses 1 degree advance timing while the other uses 11 degrees.. the chip in the pcm also has different programming. the water outlet on the water pump on the school bus motors is also on the opposite side of ours, but i would imagine if the motors were swapped they would have changed over to our style pump to make connecting to the radiator easy/normal .
