I'm not shure about this..
As far as i know, the OE injcection pump is able to handle thick fuel , like motor oil.
Second point is the compression ratio.
The MF has a high ratio , newer diesels has a significant lower ratio.
This should verified before some money goes into the MF.
I don't want to rain on somebodys parade or stop enthusiasm. What i want to say is, it's not just throw a cam and a few bolts for 1K in and you have a reliable motor.
If you or any other start this project, go from a-z i'm the first one that salute.
What stops me are a few facts? :
To make...
I worked enough on motors over the years. It doesn't pay off to make a work only half or taking shortcuts. Do it once, do it right.
Actually i've to made a decision:
Rebuild & improve my multi
replace it with an other multi
replace it with an other motor
throw the whole c...p in the garbage....
Let's make a list...
new sleeves / piston 6+~150 = $900
ARP head bolts for a cummins ~$450 (i guess for a multi they are not cheaper)
full gasket set ~$450
camshaft reground ~$500
lifters
ARP rod bolts
main bearings (2sets for full groove)
cam bearings...
As far as i remember, in this time period the SAE switch from BHP to net horsepower. You can see this on every old car ad .... around 1970 you can see a significant drop in HP for the same engines......
