no update on the flywheel cover but major progress. Turn key from the cab she cranks over and runs. posted videos in the main thread https://www.thetruckstop.us/forum/threads/detroit-diesel-638-engine-swapped-1985-chevy-k10-custom-deluxe.48737/

MAJOR UPDATE!!!!

I have found one on Amazon I'm looking at buy haven't ordered one yet.

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.

Here is the starter, I ordered the Champion radiator from Summit. I haven't been able to drive the truck to test out its capabilities yet.

Finally uploaded some videos to youtube. - The engine running when I first got the truck. - Moving the truck back and forth a bit (video is still processing when I posted so you may get an error)

Hey all, how's it going? I'm fired up!!! Looks at this intake setup right here I finished up last night!!!!! I'll be driving her soon!

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

What is the IP? There is a Bosch CPU or something installed.

Got the manifolds and turbo back on. Here are some photos of the intake setup. 3" aluminum pipe Still waiting on a few couplers, a 45degree pipe, and the air box.

TURBO, EXHAUST, & INTAKE MANIFOLD POWDER COATED BLACK. FABRICATED AN ALUMINUM INLET FOR THE INTAKE MANIFOLD ELIMINATING THE AGR. 3D PRINTED A BUSHING TO FIT A 2" SILICONE COUPLER. GONNA CUT THE PIPE SHORTER WHEN I GET ALL MY SILICONE COUPLERS. 3" PVC FOR SNORKEL SETUP FULL INTAKE SETUP TO COME!

Resolved. Thanks for your support. End of thread.

***UPDATE*** LOOKING FOR *AGR* VALVE "AIR/GAS RECIRCULATOR" NOT EGR

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.
