Im going to turbo the motor that will be going into my old 6.2 chevy 1 ton 2wd dump truck.

I found a truck that was headed to the scrap yard that had a running motor with recent rebuild on the motor (only 30k on rebuild) and 150k total. I pulled the motor and swapped a junk 6.2 with the guy.

I have the following... more will follow with the project.

• 6.5 turbo
• Intake cover
• Manifold

Im using the factory intake and customizing the cover to fit if I ever decide to pull the parts.

Here are a few pics from today when I pulled the motor and brough it home. The turbo is resting on the strap. Ill be power washing the motor so I didnt pull the manifold yet.






Here is a pic of the material that I took out to get it to fit on the stock 6.2 intake:


Here is a shot where I marked the outside edge of the intake where the 6.5 intake cover hangs over.... Ill build up some material then mill it off flat so it sits on the whole intake:

Damn Ian this is a Cool Project Keep us Posted !

 

nice score!

 

I power washed it today and stripped the top half down to do some gaskets and clean up work for the boost to come.

Only issue looking at it might be the down pipe off the turbo... I might have to run it outside the frame I dont think ill have enough room for a 4" pipe.... then again I could use a sledgehammer and make room too

 

Hood Stack...... everyone else is doing it......

 

it crossed my mind!!!! I should have nabbed the hood from the other truck... but when I pulled it up on its side to drop the fuel tanks there wanst much left of the hood that was in the bed

 

If you need any help Ian let me know. I miss wrenching on them old engines. Makes me think of my days back in the Corps.

 

and if you want any pump work let me know

 

cool cool

 

you would love the setup the HMMWV's use, looks almost identical to a duramax, everything they come with factory would make it VERY easy to build a HOT motor.......
