Expected Power Output?
I was wondering if anyone can clear up a question that I've noodled on over the years. What differences exist between a 6.2 out of a HMMWV and J code engines? Specifically what makes the military engines put out more HP and torque?
I figure it's gotta be a mix of intake/exhaust manifolds, IP, injectors and precups, right? I'm curious because I am getting close to putting my rebuilt 6.2 into my Jeep and want to know what kind of power it'll make. It came from a '93 P30 stepvan and has all the best-from-GM parts for power:
- 599 block
- J code, single plane intake
- 4979 IP
- Precups: 3 dot, 'circle A'
I've only seen mention of the 'circle A' precups being from HMMWVs, but I suspect they were tossed in to any HD engine at the factory. Not that I expect they make a lot of power difference themselves.
Just wondering if I would expect this engine to make J code power or HWWMV power. While I'm bolting a Banks Sidewinder onto it, I'm curious what I should expect as base, NA power.
Thoughts?
1978 Jeep Wagoneer, 1993 6.2L J-code 599 and a Banks Sidewinder.
