Hi guys,
I'm looking for a cheap 6.2/6.5 GM Diesel with a TH400 or 700R4 for a future project.
Thanks

Ryan R Ya, I hear ya... I've done a ton of research on these things: The 6.5L would have to be from a 1992 - 1993 1 Ton Chev/GMC. They are Mechanical Fuel Injection and Turbo Wastegate and generally a trouble free engine. Anything newer is Computer Controlled, Electric Fuel Injection and Lift Pump and loaded with Emissions equipment. 1994 is by far the worst year, with the introduction of all of the electronics and associated bugs. For the 6.2, the later the year the better. Generally anything 1990 to 1993 1 Ton is best. Still completely Mechanical Fuel Injection and Lift Pump and no EGR. Early 80s models provide the best mileage, but have slightly less reliability and are known for Glow Plugs getting stuck in the Heads and Marginal Lift Pumps etc. Scotty |

The biggest problem with the Ford 6.9/7.3L is that they are very tall and weigh almost 900lbs fully dressed. The Chev 6.2L NA is around 625lbs and the 6.5L Turbo is around 675lbs. Both are dimensionally the same as a Chev Big Block. The other nice thing is that you can use all of the Chev to TJ Conversion Parts like Motor Mounts and Radiators etc. The Ford stuff would end up being completely custom. |
