i agree with grigg totally. the 6.2. and 6.5's were an anemic p.o.s. and never were much of an engine. with all the experiance g.m. had with diesels, and being the authority in domestic diesels for decades, that they ever did those engines in the first place tells me crack addiction started much earlier than it was reported. g.m. lost a ton of money on those boat anchors.
the 7.3 corn picker engines are very reliable (just stay away from the turbocharged later non power joke version--head gaskets) are economical, and pretty esy to maintain, while not being expensive to buy. do the pump timing and up te pressure 105, along with banks injectors, and the thing will perform much better than stock.
HOWEVER!!!!!
grigg did the ultimate kick-a$$ detroit swap, and i would certainly consider that as an option.
nuthin like a 100 mph diesel bolt making folks scratch their heads!!
