Dt466 vs dt466E

Anything is possible, just depends on how deep your pockets are.

 

I'm not positive but I'm reasonably certain the 466 is a mechanical fuel pump and the 466e is electronic. Meaning you'd need an ecm and appropriate wiring harnesses. Won't be too easy or cheap

 

I know a 466B will bolt in where a 466A was, but that was 20+ years ago.

 

DT 466 A & B were fully mechanical, while the E series is full electronic, including most dash gauges.

It may can be done, but I wouldn't try it, even with a donor truck, because the wiring nightmare.

Anyway, a 466 B is a much better engine that is easily turned up, and will give less problems and last longer than early E series engines.

 

Probably easier to make the electronic engine mechanical.

 

Most likely by looking at the fuel pump.

 

P Pump Vs that

 

We had several single axle dump trucks with dt466 mechanicals in, and 1 with a dt 466E. Stick with the mechanical, if it’s blown, they are cheap to overhaul. And they are peppier than an E.
