No more love for the 6.5? as far as the cummins have u tried cumminsforrums.com 4btcumminsswap.com destroked.com also youtube robscoalroller his 12 valve powered suburband and the diesel stop

 

i love the 6.5 but the power is just not there for me 12 valve will make more power i dont know whaty all need to be done i know motor mounts and for there im lost

 

You have to change pretty much every thing. Motor mounts, trans, wiring, gas pedal, and a lot of other stuff. It would be a lot easier and cheaper to change the whole truck.

 

The 6.5 has same power ratings as second gen cummins. but cummins have a little more low end grunt but they redline at 3000rpm vs 6.5 3500rpm but yes motor mounts most ppl fab cummins mounts too work will also need a custom driveshaft maybe....are you using automatic or standard trans standard is much easier with gm's nv4500 you change input shaft and bearing with dodges input shaft and bearing on there nv4500 trans other than that its just clearances to check tolerances centering engine most ppl rig there 6.5 oil press gauge to cummins other than tht not much cummins has only a couple wires for inj pump n thts it...first thing to do to that cummins is fix the killa dowel pin otherwise later down road ur gonna want tht 6.5 back the dieselstop on youtube has plenty of vids on fixing kdp or killa dowel pin ...what year cummins engine are you getting ? id get a 95-97

And also change throttle pedal to a gm gas throttle pedal as its mechanical

 

i dont think it would be the hard to do ppl make it sound way harder then it is im not sure what year motor im goin to use i have to find one ill keep everyone posted on the build

 

Alright just dont get a #53 block highly pr..one to cracking ...n they arent theyre a easy swap when comparing too others all u need is motivation some mechanical skills youtube service manual n diesel bomber to answer any questions n ur all good just dont put tht 6.5 in scrapyard plz
