Yes, that is EXACTLY what I am thinking of doing, not sure if it will work though at this time!!!
I need to procure a few more injectors and a 2:1 gearbox to get the crank and cam signals to the PCM to do some accurate testing on the bench.
You got me thinking on the injector response time, I would imagine that there should be enough time to fire the injectors, may have to forgo pilot pulses after a certain RPM though was my thinking. I am positive that the noise of the engine would mask any combustion noise that would be present past 1800 RPM!!! For such a small engine, it sure is noisy!!!

I have to have some way of replicating the cam sensor signal on the bench, which is 2:1 of crankshaft speed, hence the need for a ratio adapter of some sort!
On the actual engine, I have the same problem also as nothing on a Detroit turns 1/2 speed of the crank. I will cross that hurdle when that day comes. If everything else works as planned mounting a cam reluctor should be a cake walk!!!!

ok, i got you. just bench testing.
so, what do you plan on doing with this engine if it all works out? putting it in anything or is it going to just be a floor model/proof of concept type deal?

I plan on putting it in some sort of older truck and use it to haul my 6000 lb travel trailer where ever I need to go with it!
I got my eye on a '69 GMC 3/4 ton 4wd truck that someone took a Suburban and a truck and made a crew cab truck. Fab work is excellent and this would be the perfect truck for this swap. For now if the deal works out, I am going to put my 4-53T that I have in it, hook it to an Allison 1000 and drive it till I get the common rail conversion figured out!
I am tired of driving what I call 'me too' trucks anymore! Me too refers to that I can go and sign my life away for 6 years on a truck and have something that looks the same as 98% of the rest of the trucks on the road! I want a functional conversation piece I guess is what I am trying to say!!!

The RPM issue can be overcome with a CAX file as I know a few are turning close to 6000 with LBZ's in racing applications retaining the BOSCH ECM. The problem would be in the fact the injector may not be happy living at those kinds of duty cycles to the injector coils for those lengths of time. I'm not trying to be a buzzkill as this sounds like an innovative project, but I don't want to see you go through all this trouble and run into issues down the road.

DIAMONDEYE 4" exhaust, CORSA muffler, AFE stage 1 dry filter, custom tuning by me, KENNEDY single pump and pump rub kit.
The engine will get to 3000 very little, most of this time it should be in the 1900-2300 RPM range, so the duty cycle of the injector shouldn't be too bad, as it won't be spending too much time at the 6000/3000RPM mark. I plan on bench testing this all before I even attempt to adapt it to the engine to save myself alot of time and trouble. Worst case scenario is I have a $750 pile of LBZ parts that I will try and liquidate on ebay!!!
THEFERMANATOR, dont feel you are a buzzkill, it is nice to hear others opinions and bring up problems that I may not thought of. Chime away if you feel the need!!!!I'm not trying to be a buzzkill as this sounds like an innovative project, but I don't want to see you go through all this trouble and run into issues down the road.
