Yes sir. Seems he'll need to.
He just seemed to be hung up on the sensor. My post was in regards to even if the senor does it's moot because the Volvo ECM may very well not be compatible. This is uncharted territory for me. Everything Ive built previously... had a distributor and MSD crank trigger... so Im trying to cover as many bases as possible before surprises are dropped in my lap at an inconvenient time. |
Can/will the holly system connect to all the current Volvo/Mercury sensors?
To have all the stupid-proof sensors is actually a good thing with the exception of the knock sensor. Im sure they can back off the knock sensor, but Ive had a heck of a lot of problems with it.... |

If I cant get someone to successfully hack this Volvo EGC ECM, I will be forced to use an aftermarket system anyway... and no need to swap rings... hence my question and concern whether or not the crank sensor itself was compatible with both 24x and 58x... or if there was a specific sensor required for each reluctor ring.

Does the connector look the same as a GM? Not much info out there but from my search people claim the later 8.1L in the trucks were 58X. I looked up a 2001) 8.1 and a 2007) 8.1 and they take the same crank sensor. I also have a PSI 8.8 parts book in PDF. They list 2 ring part #'s on the crank page. Maybe a 24X and 58X but that's only a WAG! But only list one crank sensor part number. |
The crank sensor is nothing more than a hall effect sensor, shouldn't matter other than a relearn.

we have blocks heads intakes. I'm looking at these JE's and they appear to be correct if the .990 pins will work with the PSI rods. Only other concern is the valve relief location/angle. These 15 degree heads may take a special cut in the pistons. Ebay J&E pistons: https://www.ebay.com/itm/144774262714 |

Still poking around the internet looking for info on these motors and whatever parts I can find. <none sofar>
Im ready to start ordering parts. If the one engine looks good inside, I may just do a compression check. If it looks healthy I will put a new cam and springs in it, freshen the heads and replace gaskets. All Ive gotten accomplished sofar is a pair of lifting bars to make them easy to hook and hoist with the overhead crane. lol |

Great talking with you yesterday Trey... I truly appreciate all the help and knowledge you shared.
When I get these engines busted apart and start buying parts... you will be my first phone call. I am in the very early stages of building a 30x40 2-story garage at my place. Variance hearing is set for 12/6 and assuming both variances are approved, I should have a working shop by mid/end of January. Once the shop is built, I will get the boat inside and both 8.8's torn down for the machine shop. Your phone will be ringing shortly after that. lol Thanks !!! Garage project has been met with delay after delay due to crappy weather. Here we are sneaking up on end of Jan and all I have is a hole in the backyard. |
