    How Slow is a 6.5 NA HMMWV Really?

    After putting 60 or so miles on it, I have to say, I'm very pleasantly surprised by the 6.5 NA. No, it's definitely not fast, but it has not nearly as bad as I thought it might be. Guess I set my expectations nice and low. No problem getting up to speed and is plenty peppy off-road, even all...

    How Slow is a 6.5 NA HMMWV Really?

    Really cool, and I'm sure it's a blast to drive! I love the d-max engine, but IF I do an engine swap I'll probably go gas. Having owned stock and modified diesel trucks, unless I'm towing heavy, I prefer the powerband of a healthy gas engine. Now, if the HMMWV came with a D-max, 6bt, or even...

    How Slow is a 6.5 NA HMMWV Really?

    Awesome M998! Man I can't wait! Assuming I can get the 6.5 fired up, I'm planning to stop in Moab on the way home and spend a couple days out on the trails. When I was in Moab for a race a few months back I wheeled my wife's H3. It actually did really well. It'll be fun to try a couple of...

    How Slow is a 6.5 NA HMMWV Really?

    Great input. 6.5 mods are probably not the best choice. When my CJ had the stock 6cyl I timed the 0-60 time at 23sec. Sounds terrible. But it was still very fun to drive. Yeah, it was more fun later when it had more power, but I still drove it every chance I got. I'm sure the HMMWV will be...

    How Slow is a 6.5 NA HMMWV Really?

    I'd say 5 sec 0-60 is a nice gain. ;-) I actually already have a Jeep CJ7 that I'd put a built AMC 401 in and am now swapping a procharged LS stroker into. I'm not dead set on a swap, but I do think the HMMWV is a great candidate given it already has a 4l80e. The money shouldn't be too bad...

    How Slow is a 6.5 NA HMMWV Really?

    Thanks for the insight. Hopefully I feel the same way, but my track record is not good. Seems I engine swap and/or supercharge just about everything I drive.

    How Slow is a 6.5 NA HMMWV Really?

    Hey Guys, While I sit here checking my EUC status 5 times a day every day, I can't help but day dream about all my plans for my HMMWV. I've purchased a M1123 with the 6.5L NA engine. My original plan was to immediately swap the diesel out for an LS3 I have, but I've been wondering how bad the...
