I also posted this over on the 6.5 forum - I am posting here also to get opinions from the 6.2 crowd.

My project started as swapping a 6.2 into a Jeep Grand Wagoneer. I have been looking for an engine and just came across a 6.2 and a 6.5(non-turbo). They are both military engines, and both have been freshly rebuilt (at the local depot). Both are complete (except for alternators), and the 6.5 has no oil pan.

So, it is decision time. The 6.5 is $400 more than the 6.2. Should I go with the 6.2 or the 6.5?

I don't know if this will affect the decision, but I have been working with Banks to put together a turbo for my Waggy. Whichever engine I do install will get a turbo.

Thanks!
