My computer crashed bout a month ago so i havent been able to update. since my last post i have decided to abandon the gas conversion and keep it a diesel, considering i basically figured that i had strip every thing out of 2 trucks to do so. Depending on how much damage the 6.5 crankshaft has, i may rebuild it or throw a different engine in it. i can get a 6.2 out of an 84 van that runs great for very cheap. would putting the heads and intake work on the 6.2, or would i be better off keeping it a 6.5? i wouldnt be against keeping the 6.2 non turbo if the throttle and trans would work.
