    I forgot to respond to a couple of questions. I did not install this engine, The guy who did the conversion was, unfortunately, unable to keep it and sold it to me for $500. CRAZY! the work you see on this thread is what I have done.

    I haven't looked into tuning the injection pumps but I'm pretty sure it will be taken care of through the computer with a tuning program. If anyone has any recommendations for a tuning program or software for this engine please share. Engine is a VM Motori 638LIEO

    ISO Detroit Diesel 638 EGR Valve

    Yes, the 4 bolt pattern you see on the intke manifold is where the EGR goes. I dont think i can plug it, thats where air goes into the engine lol. I was thinking i may have to just connect it right to the intercooler.
