Question 6.5 long block?

i have a 1993 chevy 3500 2WD its got low compersoint i have 1,300,000 miles on it and the place i use to get long blocks from went under and my 2002 duramax is dead to it needs injectors and im wondering if i should buy a long block for the 1993 or injectors for the 2002 pretty much witch one would be cheeper cuz 2,200 for injectors is more then i could do so i guess what im asking is can i get a 6.5 long block cheeper the injectors or something and both of em are for sell

holy crap im assuming you ment 130k not 1.3mil?

i would check a junk yard, 6.5 complete motors can go anywhere from $500-$1500. all depends where you look and what your willing to spend. personally i would rather a duramax than a 6.5 anyway

Don't limit your search to a 6.5,a 6.2 shortblock with 6.5 heads works quite well also,or even a good 6.2 longblock could work depending on if it had short injectors.
