    to turbo or not to turbo

    86Humv, If my 6.2 turns out to be a boat anchor I'll be in touch about those heads. I thinking I'd just like to keep it N/A. Wire Fox. Thanks for the info. I don't ford often with my trucks but I have needed to after hurricanes. It's nice to have it when needed.

    I'd like to keep it somewhat period correct. Yes I know the manifolds are different. But I thought the heads have a different angle on the intake side and so the N/A intake manifold won't work. Is this correct? If not I'll put the N/A parts on and make a "detuned"6.5.

    to turbo or not to turbo

    I picked up a 998 with a bad 6.2. I have a spare 6.2 on a stand from a CUVC that I can put the Humvee parts on and get it up and running. I have the chance to get a GEP 6.5 with a turbo.
