My suggestion is to first answer the question, will the project dictate the budget, or will the budget dictate the project? Stop for a moment and think about this. To simply "throw the new engine in" will be the fastest and most economical route, while a "complete rebuild with a turbo" will...

John at Hillbilly Wizard probably has them those seats (sorry, been reading to many of Rick's posts). https://www.hillbillywizard.com/

Skinny that is outstanding work.

You can buy a new Wilson 27Si from NAPA, Wilson #90-01-4277. I bought 2 of ‘em for my P400 engine build. They are not rebuilt units, but new through and through.

I believe the reason anaerobic sealant was/is used is to make it easy to get the water pump off when it’s time to replace it. I can’t think of any other reason. I believe there’s nothing wrong with using a gasket. Heck you could use RightStuff if you wanted, but you would have a hail of a time...

Hillbilly Wizard has them. Brand new. $20.

Nice, nice, nice, nice, nice. Anxious to hear how the Rotrex supercharger works out. Any plans to add an intercooler?

I am prepared to let this engine eat as much fuel as it wants. I am looking forward to it. I have a credit card with unlimited cash available. I am spending my daughter's inheritance so I really don't care how much it costs. She will never know :ROFLMAO: .

Yes that is exactly how I plan to wire up the pumps. Thanks for your comments.

I have a priming tool that fits into the vacuum pump hole and is powered off a drill. You are welcome to borrow it. It will flood the bearing surfaces with engine oil prior to start up.

Yeah I had the same thought about stacking 2 electric pumps together. But then I decided to install the passenger side tank and had the idea of having an electric pump for each tank, controlled by a manual valve and power switch for the pumps. This design will provide redundancy so if one pump...

Rick - it's "THOSE" studs, not "THEM" studs. C'mon man.

Gimp - I currently have a new GEP HMMWV fuel lift pump on the engine. However the issue has been raised that the stock pump may not provide adequate fuel for 250-300 hp. I have not been able to find any information regarding the stock pump's flow rate. I actually thought about leaving the...

I am producing a cardboard mock-up now of the size and position if the snout. It appears that the throttle bracket will just-barely clear. If necessary I can easily modify the bracket ro provide clearance for the snout.

Keith, I will attempt to respond to your comments. Unlike a turbocharger, a supercharger will provide absolute inverse reactive power, similar to a unilateral phase detractor or a turbo encabulator, while at the same time being capable of automatically synchronizing cardinal grameters of the...

Please post an overview of the improvements your card provides over the stock card. Thanks.

DB2-4811 mechanical pump built by Huckstorf Diesel in Wisconsin. 31 mm plunger and rotary head. Calibrated to 250 hp with capability to up-screw based on engine requirements of the supercharger. No computer. To my knowledge, there has never been a supercharger installed on a P400 engine, so all...

Yes. The P400 can handle it.

John at Hillbilly Wizard probably has as many as you need. If not I may have an extra one in my spare parts bin you are welcome to. I’ll check when I get to my shop in the morning.
