What's involved with getting a turbo 6.5 and turning it into a NA engine? I'm not wanting to hunt conversion parts and modify my M1045A2; trying to keep it simple.

The center mount turbo engine uses different heads than the NA, the NA intake will not bolt up, would be easier to just do a turbo install.

Mogman is on target…
Different heads. Different exhaust manifold. Different exhaust. Different air intake with different bolt angles making the turbo heads useless. Probably different injection pump and injectors. Probably different air intake plumbing.
That’s off the top of my head.
Easier to lift the truck 1”-2” and add a turbo engine.

You can’t really…at least not an OEM center rear mounted turbo.
I do in fact have an after market turbo here for sale if at all interested…it’s a commander 6500 kit removed from a customers truck because he went
with a different motor. It’s mfg by BMI, a page sponso here on SS.
