When you told me a Mil engine in the can, I was thinking military rebuild. Nope, that is a ReCon engine built by Cummins ReCon. It still has the warranty package on the engine. I would Call ReCon and see if the warranty is good on it. Has never been installed so there should be no warranty start...
Blisters, Your truck had a M49 mount on it at one time, fired M1919 from it. Find any links in the cab? If your copy is PDF, it can be uploadedto the TM section.
I can't believe this thread has fallen back as far as it is....well was! Any luck on the repower? I need to pull another power pack from the 2nd M60, bet I get the track moved, pack pulled, diagnosed, locate parts, repair and get it put back in before your project is under way.🍻🔩🔧:p

Not a member there, I will give that site a try. The switching valve is indeed on the suction side, mounted on the bellhousing. Took it apart and found that the tapered valve is a tad scored and the top seal is almost non existent. I believe I can repair the valve. Worst case for the strainers...
If it were mine and it had been done multiple times, I would check for a blocked blow-by tube. The valve cover to tube is a cork gasket, IF someone sealed it with silicone or the cork expanded, there would be no place for the pressure to go and would find the easiest way out, in your case, the...
