For longitivty yes but I thought the reason for the upgrade to the p-pump was the ve couldn't hold as well when pushing the engine for performance... Please correct me if I'm lost.everything is special for the p-pump. very costly alot to change. even the cam is different. dont sell the ve pump short it will do a great job for humdreds of thousands of miles literally. i have both types and the ve will do the same job.

What's the limit for reliability in the rotary pump?For longitivty yes but I thought the reason for the upgrade to the p-pump was the ve couldn't hold as well when pushing the engine for performance... Please correct me if I'm lost.

well just to let you know i have a p-7100 pumped 4bt all stock 130hp cpl#1839.there was never a p-pump on the 4bt. not that it is really relevant but the inline on the 4b is an "a" not a p pump. not being a smart ass. just thought i would let you know. and besides reliability it is capable of a lot more than a ve if you are going all out. you can get a ve to push alot of fuel with the right mods. until you get extreme it is hard to justify the cost of the swap. I have seen a ve in a 6b make 500hp, just takes a little know how.
It's not possible to redrill and tap or make up an adaptor plate?The a pumps have 4 bolts on the timing cover and the VE has three.
I would like to see more information about this, with evidence.Just to ad my $.02...The P pump, or the A pump, are almost required if you want to run alt. fuel; straight veg oil, etc. I've found they handle it much better.
Nah, buddy of mine has been running straight veggie and bio for years on the VE. Had to replace the lift pump once, but we all have to do that ever so often.Just to ad my $.02...The P pump, or the A pump, are almost required if you want to run alt. fuel; straight veg oil, etc. I've found they handle it much better.
