6.2 cylinder heads on a 6.5 block

[84cucv1ton]

Work is slowed down for me. Trying to make a few extra bucks thinking about taking on this guys project. its a m1008 6.5 is already in place. He bought a set of low mileage cucv heads. Someone told him that they flow more air. The 6.5 is a early 90s block. The cylinder heads are off a 86. He gave me both the 6.5 and 6.2 cylinder head gaskets. He said use what fits better?? the turbo is from the late 90s 6.5. He says this all matches up will bolt right down. Before I take this on want to make sure it actually does. I don't know I never done it before. Thoughts? Thanks

I don't know about the heads but a turbo with manifold will bolt on a 6.2

Thanks for the links. Never really think of searching much. Starting to think I should see if the heads have cracks. Will look into head studs too. Thanks.

Glad to help. But hey, you are one of the "old members" here, so you should know already that most every MV-related question has probably been asked somehow... That's why we encourage people to search... and if possible NOT start a new thread... to ask the same questions over and over, again...
BTW, we also encourage all users to write in correct English and that includes capital letters. I edited your post for that reason. It not only is a courtesy to the next user-reader, but also part of our rules...
