New guy, thinking about doing a 6.5

[53internationalMiniBigRig]

Hiya everyone!
getting a 53 international, all stock for now, but plans are possibly a 6.5 diesel, right now I am still learning about what I can do to the 6.5 to get some reliable power out of it. the 6.5 I am looking at right now is non turbo model, but I do have a rayjay from a banks 6.2 kit so I am going to see if I can adapt that to the non turbo motor. also going to see if I can find someone who is good at porting those heads for some more power. but right now I am still learning about these mill's so bear with me as I learn. the plan is putting a flat bed with a stakes, and raising the rear a bit, and adding side stacks. so enjoy.

We had a member a number of years ago that had a early 50's pickup with the 6.5 in it.
I think Jim (More Power) can give you the low-down in it.
Sounds like a fun project!
Enjoy!
