Anyone swapped into mid-80's truck?
My 6.2 it getting tired, and I've got a 6.5 I'm looking to rebuild.
But then my neighbor wandered over and told me he can get me a smoking deal on a rolled Durmax for less than a rebuild on my 6.5 would cost. Hmmm, better motor, OD tranny, got me thinking.
Anyone done this? Major surgery or drop in? Electrical issues?
Please, somebody tell me this is impossible so I can go back to planning my nice, safe 6.5 build.
