Anyone in SW Missouri area that can switch out motor by chance?!?

[cclary25]

Purchasing a Turbo 6.5L to replace my 6.2 and new to this area so was wondering if by chance there was anyone in the SW Missouri area that has experience switching out motors since haven't had much luck finding local places that want to work on a HMMWV. Willing to tow it a couple hours if there is someone in the area.

Thank You,

Sorry can't help with the install but you may find that swap to be a bit more then you bargained for.
There are a lot of things you will need for that swap.
6.5 a little easier then turbo.
I think you will need to make room for the turbo. may have to cut out a little metal under dog house and source a new dog house for starters .
not sure what trans you have either.

Well figured would need a turbo style doghouse, custom downpipe, and raise the body by 1 inch to clear the turbo along with few smaller things here and there.

Is the replacement motor a turbo? The first post just states a "6.5L".

The word turbo is in front of the 6.5 so I'm guessing it's a turbo 6.5

Duh. Lol. I am so used to seeing TD after 6.5.
