Hey Everyone,
So, I dont know if I came across a deal or a pile of headaches, and wanted to run it past everyone. Im helping my son build-up (maintain) a 1985 M1009. Its a good running truck (48K).
I have a friend with a 96 1-ton 6.5TD and hes decided to turn it into a toy (12V Cummins). Soooo... he told me... Hey if you want this 6.5... $500.00 and its yours. Complete engine including crossover pipe. (201K on this Motor!)
Like most 6.2L owners, I have toyed around with the idea of adding a turbo IF the deal was good enough.
Soooo I could either.
A: Use the 6.5TD parts to Turbo the 6.2L
B: Pull the 6.2 and install 6.5
Being such a higher mileage engine makes me want to just use parts off the 6.5?
I have read up on all the 6.5 Turbo swap, and from my understanding this would be everything I need other than the Wastegate, EGT, Boost gauge.
I have read about people using the IP and Heads off the 6.5L?
Soo...You guys that have done this, how much would you swap onto the 6.2L? Most of the posts I read about this is people piecing together Turbo swaps, or just changing the heads, or just using the IP.
