Not sure if this is the right place...mods please move if appropriate.

My recently acquired 1987 CC Dually...as I'm building up the engine for my Jeep, I am more and more thinking of diesel swap on the dually. I have this extra Navistar block that is just sitting in the shed staring at me.

But, we all know that stuffing a turbo into this chassis is a PITA, and the old Banks manifolds are rare as hens teeth and cost their weight in gold. As the Navistar blocks are machined for a center mounted turbo, it has me thinking...has anyone tried using the center mount turbo setup in the early style body?

More importantly, would I be able to stuff something like a HX-35 into it?

Anyone have any pics of the center mount setup? Been searching google and haven't found any clear pics.

I like the idea of a 6.5 because it is bolt-in with all factory parts.

For now, let's keep the discussion related to a turbo 6.5 and not go the route of "why don't you just install a DMax/Cummins/3208/etc..."

Thanks!
