M1028: Turbo 6.2 or 6.5 swap?

I have an M1028 CUCV in reasonable stock condition. I have done a bit of work on it, chiefly rebuilding the transmission and sending the IP to Huckstorf for a rebuild. I recently obtained a stock turbo civilian '96 6.5 engine, an aftermarket PMD relocate kit for the DB-4, and extra DB-4, and a set of marine injectors. I would like to hear some advice about which path would be the best to take to get some improved power out of the truck:

1: Swap the 6.5 in in place of the 6.2, stock

2: Swap the 6.5 in in place of the 6.2, with the DB-2 IP from the 6.2, the marine injectors, and the gear-driven timing from the 6.2 in place of the 6.5's timing chain.

3: Keep the 6.2 in place, but replace the passenger side manifold and add the turbo from the 6.5 to it, and swap the injectors.
