We push a lot of fuel into the inlet but there's a bit room for improvement right at the inlet.

It has been a couple years so bear with me.

The inlet is a 3/8" or -6AN fitting size. I think it has enough meat for a -8AN or 1/2". Since it uses a AN adapter, I think it is possible to up the size. This allows more volume to the vane pump. I have a theory we are pushing enough fuel at low RPM's the vane pump is cavitating or even going dry. We noticed by pushing more pressure, the pump and case pressure reacts better. Could it be pushing enough fuel trying to keep up with the H&R that the bottle neck right before it is causing issues?

2nd spot to massage is the passage up to the FSS in the head. I remember enlarging that part to the point there were no ridges for the springs. There was still 3/4 of the pocket left to make sure the springs seated and stayed seated. This also doesn't affect the uses of the FSS plunger or the timing as dictated by the slot of the rotor collar in the head. So now instead of around 25-30mm of passage at, say, 5mm diameter, you have it now at 7mm, or a 40% increase in flow. I remember going 2 steps up on the drill bit selection I had.

Now, if you wanna get ballsy, press the rotor collar out of the head and take that same size through the head to where the collar would be. Time and press the collar back in. Now that 90* turn has less affect on flow being restricted. Yes, it is still a restriction but you made the passages bigger. And the 5-6mm for the collar thickness will have less impact than the additional 4-5mm from the FSS to collar.

One area needing addressed and I haven't quite figured out yet is the return flow. It is not a regulator, it is just fixed orifice. Maybe putting a regulator on it with a 1:1 boost reference would help choke the flow so less is returned during high impact use.

I hope this all makes sense.

With regards to the inlet, i noticed the threaded hole on the bottom of the VE (near lower mounting hole) heads right up into the bottom of the vane pump inlet.

If one could come up with a banjo fitting to clear the lower stud it may be an option for a second feed.

I read somewhere that a guy calculated the vane pump is more than capable of supplying enough fuel, could be an issue with supply to the vane pump?

Meh, . . . life . . .

With the trans wanting to shift weird at WOT, I'm not gonna push my luck and hurt it.

- Had to get an 8' bush-hog, . . . and it wasn't a cheap one.
- Installed a new heat-pump for the other daughter.
- Installed a 60a electric service in the boy's shop with LED lights and a 5kw unit heater.

In the meantime, I've been gathering parts so that, with harvesting the rotating assembly out of the current trans, I can build a custom 48RH trans. Still got to nail-down the 3-disc Suncoast converter.

For the record, I've done nothing but drive the thing to the county landfill and beach place for the most part since my last post.

Still saving for a custom converter. Thinking of a triple-disc simply for the possible longevity compared to a single-disc considering how I drive the heap.

I'd be lying if I said I can still carry on like a 20, err . . 40 year old fella. I'm blessed that I work with a company that recognizes the increasing limitations of the more seasoned employees. With that, I work short days for the most part.
With the Wifes' Moms' passing, she inherited the property I've been on for the last 27 or so years. . . . . AND the *#@@(*!! mortgage payment that comes with it!
As such, RaceTruck funding is way down.

I'm further blessed that my Son is, by his own motivation, stepping up to lend me a hand here recently. Looking forward to me getting off my ass and getting a move on.

Well. I thought I used Spicer LifeTime non-serviceable universal-joints in the driveshafts.

I thought wrong. :roll:

So, now I gotta fix it . . . .

May as well make it a 49.5RH ;)

How're the converter & shift points working out btw?

Ah, I'm starting from scratch/stock thus far on this valve-body. Maybe raising the shift points to that of a 24v. Not sure atm.

For the record (stock/OEM).

Buying a so-called "Rebuilt", "Reconditioned", "Renewed" transmission valve-body from somewhere you're not that familiar with?

Make damned-sure you check it out thoroughly!

Otherwise: Disassembled, cleaned, inspected, "adjusted", reassembled and red'ta go.
