Where will you be getting your 6.5 Turbo from?

[FONT=&quot] I plan to pull one from a junkyard but I am always looking at ebay so it just depends on what comes up when I go to buy it. [/FONT]

b_g_y,

I would LOVE to find a 6.5 in a yard. Trouble is around here in Denver, those things get snapped up fairly quickly.

And I LOVE the girdle you made. It should strengthen the bottom end a ton...

Still watching. Sorry for the temp hijack. I will stop doing that. MY APOLOGIES.

No worries it is all good info and I welcome info.
[FONT=&quot]I was only worried about discussion becoming possibly more than discussion if you know what I mean.
now off to the parts store to get my seals/ gaskets[/FONT]

 

[bubba_got_you]

[FONT=&quot]Finished installing the girdle and rear main seal, and replaced the oil pan and valve cover gaskets. And got the injector lines reinstalled. So all in all I got a lot done today though it doesn’t look like it and it may not be what you people are watching this build for but it is important to have a nice tight motor. In the next week or 2 I will be getting a new starter, harmonic balancer and making an alternator mount. Then I will be getting to work on the turbo components. In-between all the work on the motor I have been working on tube steps for the side of my truck witch I will post pix of when I get them finished. Here are some pix of what I did today. [/FONT]

I love the engine paint scheme. Looks really nice and I bet will run even nicer than it looks. Love this build!

[FONT=&quot]I’m glad someone liked the paint scheme lol [/FONT]

 

[dstang97]

I take it you are going to run a electronic fuel pump?

He11 yah!

I take it you are going to run a electronic fuel pump?

you would be right. i am also running electronic fans for cooling. it doesn't do much for the mpg but every bit helps lol

 

[BIG_RED]

Thanks for all the great info/responses Bubba!

 

[bubba_got_you]

He11 yah!

[FONT=&quot]I was going to go all black but I think the red ads something lol and maybe it will make it go faster to lol [/FONT]

 

[Boss Doug]

Go fast red.

 

[bubba_got_you]

[FONT=&quot]OK I feel really stupid that I cant find this but…does anyone know where I can get the oil fill neck rubber seal lol mine is torn so it needs to be replaced. [/FONT]

 

[jamesfrom180]

No idea on the rubber. Engine is looking good though. Black and OD would have been my choice. Looking at the girdles I was wondering if they effect any windage and oil flow. I am guessing they are down in the oil hanging off the block like they are? Its the little things like replacing seals that will make this a great engine.

When you first said you were putting this in your GMC I was thinking m211. Just a little disappointing.

It is good seeing this apart. A buddy of mine might be pulling his 6.2 out of his suburban soon for a crank and it is good to see it apart.

I love the red valve covers.

[FONT=&quot]Well I have lots of pix and info on that one lol I will be posting a thread on it after the motor install and will post pix of the work we have done. [/FONT]

 

[bubba_got_you]

[FONT=&quot]I will be replacing the harmonic balancer and intake manifold gaskets this weekend. [/FONT]

 

[WARWAG]

Did you paint the intake manifold? On the Harmonic balancer. Is it going to be a stock replacement one?
