It runs like a bat out of ****, the motor is cut 30 over, complete blueprinted and balanced, it has a pretty big cam 486/486 lift, 2.02.1.60 ported and polished heads,scat crank,keith black hyperthetic pistons. Its has the quickest throttle response i have ever had out of a carb motor. it laughs...
thanks, we dont have inspections in sc, that sucks yall do. most of all the emissions today are bs. Whats the deal about the emission sticker being on the clearner, why does it have to be there(just wondering) wish u could do your motor swap cause man its worth it, a bunch of people dont like...
Thanks, i bought them from jegs and they are pretty easy to install. actually the hardest part was cutting the dash to get them to fit. The only one that gave me trouble was the speedometer and that was because the old push on cable dont work for the new guage, u have to buy the right back for...
I have a complete 6.2 motor from head to toe. I have recently bought a Borg Warner T3 that was for an 6.5, a new electric fuel pump, 6.5 exhaust manifolds, Flowmaster crossover pipe (modified and tucked),complete exhaust from turbo back(runs outside of frame custom made wrapped in dei heat...
Awesome, yeah this will be my first winter with my truck, hope to have a little fun with it. Glad to hear i helped boost u to do it, hope your project goes good if u have any question just let me know, i can help u through the quirks i had. I have alot of pictures on how i ran my exhaust and...
Yeah i am going to go the the junk yard and find a factor piece that came off a 6.5 so i can also pull cold air from the fender and i plan in the near future to have a snorkel. Turbo made a big difference in power and that airbox made it a different truck with sound and power, the turbo will...
I had to run it on the outside of the frame, and it dont look to bad if u tuck it close the the cab and wrap it in dei wrap. There is no room to run it in between the frame wheel(sucks). The crossover piece i ordered from flowmaster and had to do a bunch of cutting and welding but got it set...
I bought the kit used from a owner of a 6.5 that through a rod, and was doing a small block conversion. I looked on ebay for about a month and found my kit for $500. There were a couple of other kits that were the same but didnt look as good as the one i found but they were about $200 cheaper...
I ran the oil return to the block of plate where the mechanical pump use to be. I went to advance and got a diesel electric fuel pump and it works great.
Thanks much, there is a good difference in power now( it will actually get out of the way of its own shadow). And i have not turned the fuel up any yet because i do not have a pyrometer guage yet. The only thing i had problems with is setting the exhaust manifolds in place because it is such a...
I am running the stock 6.5 turbo (borg warner) and have the waste gate set to open at 8 psi, so it dont destroy the motor. If u dont drive the truck like u stole it will last just fine. They start breaking webbing when u run 15 psi and think u have a 10sec drag truck.
The hose they sent to go from the airbox to the crank case breather wasnt long enough just put it in place so no dust sucks in untill i can go by napa and get enough to run it all the way across
I have a 88 Suburan with good cold A/C so i am not worried about that. I have heat thats all that matter. My cucv is for the ulimate weekend rig and river rides. I bought 2 of the smallest compact batteries with 1000 cca each and made custom brackets for both of the batteries to sit on the...
This is a S&B airbox for an 92-00 6.5 diesel. It worked out perfect with just a little help from a bracket to help support the box since the inner fenders are a little bit different in shape. I have been doing some research and for your money this is diffently the best buy for your bucks over...
sounds awesome my dads wants to do the same swamp with the 1 tons and k5. i order my down pipe flang and crossover pipe from flowmaster for a 6.5 and i chopped it up and cut 22 degrees cuts and twisted and made my turns correct and lenghted it where it need it and wided it too it was off...
