I'm no restoration freak my love of mv's come from the fact they are all the same when a change happens it happens to the whole fleet I would not object to putting in a 6.5 td in the same dress as a m1114 has. to add on a side winder turbo or some other fabbed up turbo or ls defeats the reason...

the 6.5 and 6.2 engines are the same on the outside, the exhaust will bolt up as will motor mounts, and flywheel. the heads are different animals on the inside, 6.5 heads will flow more volume and make for a good performance mod for a 6.2.
you might consider a 6.5 head upgrade than use the 6.5 van turbocharger the hmmwv uses that way you get the improved air flow from the 6.5 heads plus bolt on turbo charging.
