The 6500 is available and will directly bolt in and go right to work.
AMG/GEP has done the testing and such as these engines for the HMMWV
The engine can be purchased as a complete long block.

When I bought my Peninsular AMG last year I was told all their engines come with 18.1:1 pistons, but then it could have been in context of my getting one for the motorhome. At the time the web site didn't show the higher-perfromance engines, so maybe that's changed.
