My guess would be an SM465 4 speed out of a GM truck. They came behind the 6.2 / 6.5, so I would imagine it would be rather straight forward. You'd have to figure out a solution for the clutch pedal and related parts, but I cant imagine it be that difficult.

I've been watching the ones coming out of Fort Dix, and they certainly look like great trucks for the money! Congrats!

Honestly, there isn't really much of a difference between a N/A 6.2 and an N/A 6.5, so don't go crazy about what engine it has. The newer trucks with the OD trans are cool, and allow you to keep up with traffic better than the 3 speed trucks, but I'd have a hard time paying a premium for that...

Looks fine to me!

Badass! I really like the wagon top. Theres nothing wrong with an 85 as opposed to the later years. There are small changes over the lifetime of the Humvee, but for the most part they're all similar. You have 12 bolt wheels with 37" radials, where the earlier trucks had 8 bolt's on 36's, so...

I'd say give it a shot. If you break anything, you can always fix it.

Jeez, that's a lot of equipment! Looking good!

I've seen it done this way, especially with swollen glow plugs that break upon removal. Just be extra sure that you got every little piece of metal out of the cylinder before starting!

Yes, for all three swaps. I take the stock harness apart, remove all the wiring I don't need, then put it back together. I make my own fuse box for the harness too. Nice and simple!

This build is incredible! I build models, and have worked with photo etched parts, so I understand the difficulty of what you're doing. I gotta say, at first I didn't realize just how big 1/8 scale was for this truck! In my mind I was thinking 1/8 muscle car size, as I've built a few of those...

I have done 3 LS swaps, including one in my 73 K10. It is hands down the best way to go for the money! The truck runs like a new Silverado. The fuel injection is great, and the benefit of unlimited tuning through the laptop is amazing! You can reach right inside the truck and with one quick turn...

I only run gear oil in my NP205's, never ATF. That said, a 205 will basically survive with anything in there. I've had some that were full of water and mud, and have been driven for a long period of time like that (not willingly), and after a fluid change they're still going strong today.

Hah, as I remember someone on here tried to say that wearing civilian clothes while driving a HMMWV gives the police probable cause to pull you over :roll:

I dunno, if they're using technology from the stone age, then it's kinda their fault.

Thanks! Most Vette guys hate the CS car lol

Looks sinister in black! Congratulations!

**** I would have bought that for $150! Being a custom application, I wouldn't worry about getting the correct air lift brackets. If you can just fab up some heavy duty brackets I'd go that route.

Just be careful, silicone is extremely difficult to completely remove. It's an extreme contaminate, and works itself into the metal. Most auto body shops don't allow any silicone products anywhere near cars that are being painted.

Yeah I would imagine its pretty tight once you're in the city. That's still badass tho!

Hah no way, you take it thru Boston? That's pretty cool! I bet it looks badass in the tunnel!
