    6.2 to GEP 6.5 swap

    Thanks Man but I already have a new one from a older CUCV project that didn't get used. The 6.2 in there now has a cracked flywheel so I figured somebody has been doing "netural drops" with it.

    6.2 to GEP 6.5 swap

    I finally got my NOS power pack in. I'm stoked. It's time to pull the 6.2 and convert this 6.5 to NA then get it on the road. First thing first. Pull the tranny off and get it up on the engine stand.
