6.2 with turbo build in progress
I am starting to work on my 6.2 diesels for my gmc. This motor will be getting a 6.5 turbo. So I will be posting all my pix/info here as I work. Here are some pix

I will be watching this build. I want to do the same thing for a winter project with my son in our garage. This will be a learning experience for both of us.

I will be doing both. But I will purchase a used Military 6.2 and keep my rig running until the other motor is rebuilt to my specs.

I will not be rebuilding it but I will be "going thru" it and replacing seals gaskets and the harmonic balancer and painting/powder coating the motor.

Looks clean from up here Bubba.

 

[bubba_got_you]

yes i was happy to see it so clean. and it spins freely with a breaker bar, so im happy. unfortunately this build will take longer than i want it to due to limited funds/ time.

That whould make it extremely strong.

[FONT=&quot]Well Im not really doing it for hp, im just doing the turbo for some balls up hill and towing. I don’t need a fast truck as I accurate slow and only do the speed limit. What I look for in a truck is torque, dependability and if I can fix it on the side of the road with tape and a hammer. So I decided that this motor would suite me best as they are strong and will go forever as long as you don’t abuse them and take care of them. And the fuel mileage won’t hurt ether lol[/FONT]

some pix. i hope to get the girdle on this weekend and will seal up the bottom end of the motor.

Looks awful pretty!!!

WoW I hope my engine is as clean as that one if and when I ever open it. Under the pan looks super clean. was going to ask a stupid question until I saw your location you know the one like you are not going to install a block heater? LOL! glad I saw that before I ask I will be putting one on mine in the next week or so. Getting a bit cold up here in the mornings no problems yet but better safe then sorry! LOOKS GREAT CAN"T wait to see the girdle have the main girdle and rocker girdle on the big block in my play toy they can get a bit steep on price but better then the junk parts. keep the pics flowing!

I would like to see pics of the girdle you make and how you installed it. I'm interested in this because I will be working on a 6.2 this winter also. Motor looks good and clean and should work well for you. Is this a 6.2 or a 6.5? I wasn't sure by your first post and if it is a 6.2 what turbo will you be using?
