Looks like most of the guys are running the p-pump engines. Just wondering if anyone can help me with a VE question

I have a 97 215Hp engine that I am installing into a 95 Chev Crewcab dually but I have the 92 engine I had in there left over. I think it would be a perfect replacement for the big block in my tractor tired Jeep YJ

My question is what is the power limit of the VE pump with stock injectors but 3k GSK and all the other "adjustments" you can do to the pumps. Also wondering if the stock 97 HX35/14 would be a good turbo to stick on there.

Looking to build as much torque as low in the power band as I can

Appreciate the help

Go to Piers for a VE kit that will meet your needs. Frankly, a well tuned VE equipped engine will pump out well over 450 horses, and with reliability that is close to the what the P pump will do. You just have to look at the total package, including the intercooler requirements.

 

Thanks for the insight....I found a bunch of good stuff in the 1st Gen section after I posted here.

The Jeep doesn't see street use and will mostly be low speed situations so I am not sure how much the intercooler would actually do. I was going to fab the stock 92 one into place as I am running a third gen with the 97 engine.

Just trying to put all these good parts to use rather than having them sit....another Cummins powered vehicle can't be a bad thing

I will talk to Piers tomorrow and see what they suggest but looking at the other posts I should easily see 850-900 ft/lbs which is lots for a 4000lb rig
