[@thegunbuilder]

I have a lot of love for these Detroit diesels. It seems that a lot of people hear the horror stories, and get scared to give them a chance. All they really need is a little bit of refinement, and they can be perfectly capable and reliable. I loved my 94 6.5 because of the economy too! Easily one of the best aspects of these engines. I would routinely get 23 mpg, not bad considering it was in a 3/4 ton long bed gmt400. You should take a look into the "6500 optimizer" it is produced by am general, and pretty well solves every issue that the general motors 6.2-6.5 engines were prone to having. Fully girdled bottom end, more molybdenum in the block casting, heads completely reworked, main webbing areas reinforced, and the list goes on. Also produce 250 hp and 440 ft lbs, in their stock form.

The most ironic motor on the planet. GM had moved to the Duramax so they couldn't/wouldn't support the Detroit - so they sold it to Navistar - the guys who set light-truck-diesels back 20 years with the 6.0.... however, that motor (aka the marine motor) has all the upgrades and has made it one of the best light-truck diesels available.... not just that but due to all the hate, they're dirt cheap at gov auction. I swear by my Detroits.... let the haters hate, my pocketbook loves those haters.

Had a 87 Chevy 4x4 with a NA 6.2...only problems I had in 5 years till it got stolen was glow plugs breaking off in the head...to which I just put new ones in and run it with the broken pieces still in the engine...and like every mechanic I asked they all said it will be fine...the engine will spit them out lol..and it did...oh and went through 2 10 bolt read ends...probably due to running 35'' BF Goodrich mud terrains on a POS 10 bolt rearend hauling hundreds of loads of stacked wet hardwood out of the bush...that truck put in work and would cruise down the highway at 80 mph all day...

Before watching the video, I'll tell you why this one grabbed my eye: My parents used to own two G20 conversion vans(One was an 82 or 83, the other an 89), both with 6.2L N/A diesels.. Got decent mileage for such big rigs, so this swap brings back memories (though the vans actually came with the motors, they weren't swapped). One my dad converted to his 'work van' where he carried his tools in it for doing remote work on trucks and heavy equipment. That poor half ton van carrying 4k lbs of tools sure did have a hard life(And sat much lower than the other van due to the weight). Slow as frig too. We also discovered that the 700R4 was a piece of junk many times over, on both vans.

[@consaka1]

Yeah my '83 weighs in at 8,000lbs in camping trim. Once I built the performance 6.5 for it I had to upgrade the transmission(Only two years on a new one) to a 4L80E and the rear axle to a Full float 14 bolt. After that its been golden.

Cool Swamp man, well done! I'm a little concerned about the starter sounding abrasive against the flywheel. Have you got the little triangulation bracket attached to the double stud at the other end of the starter? That's vitally important, GM didn't upsize the starter bolts from the gas engines, and when and if they break which is just a matter of time, they sometimes take a chunk of the block and then you're dead. The only weeks spot really in 6.2 and 6.5 is the starter boss area and those undersized gas engine starter bolts

Dang that is so similar to mine it's not even funny. Mine is a standard length 1983. My rad is a 5 row core with the stock tanks. I kept the doghouse pretty stock. At least the seal area. Did some fiberglass work on it to get the massive 300 turbo to fit. Already have the marine injectors and low compression pistons. I weigh about 8,000lbs though. Put 1 ton axles under it though. Mostly to keep the back alive so a van 14bolt full float axle does the work back there. The aftermarket turbo is a snugged in pretty tight compared to Gregs. The 4L80E is necessary because the stock 700R4 is too weak. Even mildly built it won't last long. I used a PCS controller for the transmission. Suspect they might have built his easy TCU. Greg, if you are ever in WA, you got to look me up. I'll show you what I did to make it 4 wheel drive. :)

The turbo fit?

[@michaelayliffe7238]

Anything on the planet would be better than a 202 iron block straight 6 petrol engine, as in Australia. In the UK they came with a 6 cylinder Cortina running gear, it drove like a car, a cut snake. The great train robbery has a nice example in a car chase.

That set up would be sweet in an S 10

What a waste of time and money, you couldn't have picked a worse diesel to swap in.

I've got the same.van but.1990. 6.2l. I've been wanting to do the exact same thing-adding a turbo. Banks doesnt make a turbo.

[@MrGGPRI]

I bought the last Banks turbo kit for the 6.2-5L diesel VAN back in 1998; now he can't even supply a new cross-over pipe I need, so had to have a muff shop make one.

[@galaxyclass1701d]

Good to see that thing moving under it's own power!!! Once you get the internals tightened up you can turn up the fuel pump and throw some propane and N2O at it and see how fast it can shred the tires!!! 🤪🤪🤪

[@ralphfalstin6024]

What's propane do with diesel?

[@mikehunt8375]

Wow I want it!

[@lupobikes]

Did he show you his Oh-face in the back of that van?
