Theyvwill be loted in. I will install riv-nuts in the original lifted section and countersink the aluminum to hide the head of the screw. Might make a access door in the front of the passenger rear base so i can use it as storage. At least this will give me a good support for the rear seats.

While waiting on the engine, i am making this seat base of some aluminum i had in my office. Better than paying for the original bases.

Pulling out the engine to stick in a 6.5L TD

Congrats on the purchase.

a little bit of off roading avery once in a while but not crazy

Hey guys, i am back again. please let me know if is should post on the same thread i started or if it is ok to start a new one for sourcing some parts. i recently posted about my 6.5l NA blowing a piston and cylinder and i have already sourced a freshly rebuilt 6.5L Turbo, even though the new...

thank you, i might be interested in the dog house and the related parts. i have already sourced the engu=ine froma friend of a friend.

Not really. As a matter of fact. The riv nut or insert on the B pilar passenger side popped out. I have to fix and install a new riv nut. Sent from my SM-G996U using Tapatalk

That is true; after the engine blew, the windshield is just a piece of cake. New one ordered today. [emoji108] Sent from my SM-G996U using Tapatalk

Thanks. Definitely will be less work than swapping engines for sure. Sent from my SM-G996U using Tapatalk

Decided to fit the 4 man soft top kit, mirrors and windshield glass while waiting on the engine. Of course i managed to break the passenger side windshield.

Yes, i already have the 4-speed transmission. I don't think the guy have the exhaust down pipe, but i can source that one. I was planning to do the 2" lift anyway. He will give me the wire harnes, the computer, engine with transmission, winch hydraulic pump, power steering pump, alternator...

What kind of body modifications are we talking about?

moving forward with updates, i spoke tooday to the friend of the friend and i am buying the freshly rebuilt turbo from him, complete with transmission. so i guess this is the route to go, any help or ideas on how you guys have done this swap and what is needed will be really appreciated

can you please elaborate/add more to it? i found the turbo engine and that will be my route to go. have you done this?

no, not really. i was thinking about a rebuilt because everything in this engine sounds really tight compression wise and everything else is new. the rebuilt was going to be done by me with a friend that would not charge me for it or would charge me very little

thanks, yes, i was looking at some of those i also came across. will start my search in the morning and will try to find out waht will be better for me. have to wait until saturday to talk to a friend of a friend that will take a turbo out. that will be the final point for dsicions

ahhh, good information i was planning on lifting the body a bit more anyways. will try to educate myself into this. is it worth the upgrade? i see i will only gain probably 30 HP on this swap. have you done it?

i see a lot of turbo's take out but Not NA, can i fit a turbo on in my truck?
