I've been talking with Jeff at Bostic Motors about purchasing one of their GEP 6.5 engines to replace my stock 6.2, and he is wanting to also sell me new Bosch 6.5 injectors to go along with it ($650), as well as a new set of special injector lines to mate my factory 6.2 injection pump to the new 6.5 injectors (another $300). After shipping this equates to almost $1000 of additional costs which I feel may be unnecessary. I had my factory injection pump rebuilt around 1500 miles ago, and installed new Bosch 6.2 injectors at the same time, so my question is, will my new 6.2 injectors work OK with the 6.5 engine? I do not intend to turbo the 6.5, but to run NA, and do not plan on pulling any heavy loads. Seems crazy to spend the extra cash, unless for some reason my 6.2 injectors will not fit. If anyone has any insight on this, please chime in.
And while we are at it, has anybody had any experience with Bostic's engines? They advertise heavily on Ebay and have an excellent feedback score, however when I reviewed the individual feedback posts, they were all regarding sales of injectors and/or block heaters, not engines. I must have scrolled through several hundred feedback posts and not a single one was related to an engine. This alone dampened my enthusiasm for Bostic, which might be premature, but I would still like to know that their engines are built correctly and are dependable. If anyone can provide comments, I will appreciate it.
Thanks.
