/ Putting a Cummins 24V with VE mechanical injection pump into my 2008 F250 with failed Navistar engine

Yes, a P7100 pump is quite an expensive item, it would need new injector lines at $750 min a set. The P7100 has more performance potential with 1 plunger per cylinder, but does not have injection timing advance like the rotary pump. Thus fuel economy winner is the VE pump which has the timing advance built in. The VE Pump itself is much cheaper and simpler and Im not looking for a boost in power, just long term reliability. I am aware that the P pump is a very popular option with the performance crowd. P7100 core pumps sell for the same price or more than what a brand new VE pump will sell for. Then you still have to pay a Bosch shop ~$2500 to rebuild it.Built Ford tough with Cummins stuff!
Cool project for sure
Any particular reason you went with the VE pump over the P7100 pump?
