Yep, the tests will be going on. This weather has slowed me down. Had to clear my shop to get the F450 4X4 flatbed in there. Talk about leaving the freezer door open. That truck has a winters worth of ice and snow stuck to it, and winter is only about 2 weeks old! It took over 24 hrs to thaw it out. Now to change the fuel pump.
Next the 250 will go in the shop and be dismembered for rebuild. Only the one divided head to work on also. The rest of the parts are still ready from the 292 dyno tests.
Contributions are coming in. Got one from SOB, Bill Mulholland from down in Texas, sounds like they are also getting a taste of winter (not liking it much either).
If anyone is interested in helping, here is the wish list.
Possibly 3 cams from Compcams
3 cam timing gears from cloyes
funds to help pay for dyno time
If anyone wants contribute funds, here are the 2 ways

Anyone who contributes get the data collected from the tests. For the 292 dyno tests, over 50 contributors helped make it happen. Some from far away in other countries. Contributors are also kept confidential. I do have a 250 dyno list of contributors started. Thanks again to those who have allready.
Now out to change that fuel pump. Tom
Fuel pump is done now, fuel at 50 psi really helps make that diesel roar.
