I don't belive it really matters, but if you got access to one, might as well change it out.

Instead of swapping in a 6.2L NA why not swap in a 6.5 NA engine.

The 6.5L NA puts out a little more power then the 6.2L. But the 6.5L also lasts longer.

Just curious, not trying to be a ***, but how do you figure? I always thought that they were really really close in terms of block, hardware, etc.

They are but the 6.5L is rated at more hp and torq.

I meant the last longer bit. I was wondering about that.

i've already got the 6.2 and i've been working on it for a few weeks so i'm sticking with that route.

Through my experince I have found that the 6.5L will out last the 6.2L.


I didn't know you already have the engine. Then by all means go through with your plan.

How is your swap going?
I am considering a similar swap to a 93 K5.
