E6350 pump on a 285 tip turbine?

[Lmackattack]

Any reason a E6 350hp american bosh pump cant swap on to my ENDT676 (285)?

 

My pump is leaking fuel and hard starts, It likely needs a rebuild, I found a 350 pump for cheap and was thinking of just swaping it over but not sure the calabration would work with my 6 speed. most 350s I drove pulled good down low but they all had 7 or more gears. 

 

thoughts?

Trent,

Do you have Ambac or Bosch pump on your 285?

As it seems to me the most calibrations of a pump are done in the governor. The pump sections may be different by the plunger diameter the most. And that point should be checked some way. But very possibly that's similar between the two. Also the shape of cams can differ in the cam shaft. Some have steeper upcoming curve for faster pressure increase and "harder crack" on injectors but that doesn't affect combustion much as I was told by a pump guy (I actually was told "as steeper as better"). Besides that all specifics are housed in a governor. If you have both pumps of similar style you could swap it over. But no way for Ambac pump to adopt Bosch governor.
