Hello again, I currently have an 84 Sub, 6.2 and Banks set up.
My truck runs great with the 6.2 and has only 143K.
If I installed a new 6.5, would I have an increase in power?
The reason I ask is my brother has just picked up a 91 Sub with a 454.
He is going to get rid of his 85 which has a new 6.5 n/a. It looks like I will be able to buy his older rig and pull off the items that I want. His 85 is a horror show subject to the new 6.5 engine. Since the 6.5 has less than 20K, I want to put it into my truck some day. What issues will I have when I switch motors? Will the turbo system cause any problems since his motor was purchased as a N/A unit.
I would take his engine and upgrade it for the future, girdle kit, gear drive etc. I'm sure I have quite a few years left on my 6.2 but would change it over if I could get some more power for towing. I tried to find HP/Torque numbers for the 6.2 vs. 6.5 but was unable to find any. I'm not too sure of the differences between the motors. Subject to the lower miles, should I push the swap? Thanks
