Awesome! I'm amazed that your prelube pump put out that much pressure. What are the thread types on the pump? From your pics, they look to be NPT.

That is the fuel flow rate at rated horsepower.

TT - You raise an interesting point. The LD/LDT engines and LDS engines are very similar with the same displacement and many interchangeable parts, yet the LD/LDT engines only make 120-130 hp, while the LDS engines make about 190 hp. How do the LDS engines do that and keep EGT in a safe range...

Actually, I do have a drain plug drilled and tapped to 3/8" which I will use for my quick and dirty prototype system. I just don't like plumbing any hardware into the oil pan below the oil level. Although highly unlikely, a component failure or a part getting snagged on something and breaking...

gerhard - I agree a 1/4" pump supply woudn't work - probably 1/2" npt is the smallest that would provide enough oil flow. Drill and tap the indicated fitting to 1/2" npt might work, except with the oil pan reversed the pickup would be in the small sump and I don't think there would be enough oil...

Re: RE: Re-Powering The Deuce With A 5-Ton LDS-465-1A Engine Jeff - Where is the LDS dipstick located? Can you provide a picture? Do the LDT blocks have the pipe plug in the LDS location? I'm trying to find an oil pickup point for a prelubricator, but would prefer to NOT run an adapter through...
