    Default 6.5 engine swap

    I have a 1996 suburban with a side turbo and have the opportunity to buy a center tirbo 6.5 will this swap work?
    Thanks

    It's not very practical, but you could make it work. You need to block the extra valley holes to make the block work and swap heads to get the intake manifold to fit so it tends to become impractical.
