Because I have some questions about my chevy that I'm working on and help others out with their future build I started this thread
Late 2018 I found the M1028 at SS and was able to buy it and ship it to Europe, the Netherlands.
It came with the 4l80e already mounted to the standard 6.2.
In the meanwhile we have worked on de body to remove most of the rust and lifted it 4" with the ORD flip kit.
Still have to change the right in and outer fender and also the right rocker panel.
Also got a set of 35" wheels mounted.
Now it's time to move on with the next steps
1) The installation of the crossover parts and some new bushings.
The parts have just arrived and already tried the Jeep XJ steering shaft. It seems to fit as expected
2) Install the 6.5TD I picked up yesterday
3) Sort out the rear brake problem. The left rear doesn't get enough pressure.
I think the front proportioning valve causes the problem. (rear has already been removed)
All the lines, and other hardware in the rear is already new.
The questions, for now, are about the 6.5
The numbers: F034 and 10149599 shows a 1994 engine possibly a 6.2 or a 6.5.
Found some information in the following link.
I know it’s a 6.5 and it has a tagplate on the valve cover of the company Reviva.
I only found one topic referring to a Reviva engine.

The engine it selves came out of a ’96 3500 army pickup. <60K miles.
It doesn’t look like it has many miles on it. I even think the heads are not that old.
All the paint etc is still on it.
I think this engine was rebuild by Reviva and mounted in the ’96 while it was still being used in the army.
The 6.5 is going in to the m1028 and first priority is to get it running.
I will replace the IP with the one of the 6.2 and turn up the fuel screw and install a lift pump.
Also I’m planning on keeping the one alternator that’s already mounted on the engine with the serpentine belt.
Therefore I’m going to convert the truck to 12v. (12V starter is already on the engine).
The AC compressor can go and I also think about to remove the vacuum pump and install a manual wastegate.
So time for some questions:
1: Is there any information available with the information on the Reviva plate?
2: Is there an visual difference in a “stock”6.5 ’94 and mine?
3: Is there a AC bypass pulley available for a ’94?
4: Are these the right serpentine belts for this engine with and without the vacuumpump?

5: What would be the correct manual wastegate?
If I missed something let me know and tips and trics are always welcome!

The question is for $75 bucks do I pick up the engine or not. It is an 6.2L engine taken out of a early 90's step van during a refresh project. Engine could be good running or miled out ... condition is unknown. Heads with valve cover, oil pans and water pump are still on. Just missing the...
