I also did that same order, 3" downpipe & exhaust first, then the upgraded airbox setup. Gauges then fuel/boost. Worked well for me, although i did utilize lower cost components from the 'bay and lower cost vendors as i'm on a very low budget.

Thanks Davo,
I'll mess with it when i get back in Ga this weekend. I read somewhere they changed them about '98 or '01 to metric and i have a '05 AMG longblock i got recently.

If you could look i'd appreciate it a lot. The engine is an x-military, says GEP on the valve cover and is very very clean. I'm pretty sure the last character is an M, i didn't have a lot of time to mess with it as it was late and i was going to Houston early the next morning. It has the...
Hi Guys,
I've read that the bellhousing to Engine bolts are 3/8" - 14, and i've read that they are 10mm. I've ran upon a 6.5 recently that i think is a GEP/AM General engine and i'd like to mount it on the engine stand and NOT have it fall on me if possible. :nono: The block has the diamonds...
I see them on flea-bay all the time, fairly cheap. You might post here that your looking for a few, some members may have extra parts from a previous engine.

On my '93 i have a 180 thermostat (ACDelco-single thermo crossover), the HO water pump and the SSD DMAX plastic fan/clutch combo with the 4 bolts. Works pretty well, only time i've been over 200F with that combo is pulling about 6000lbs up a 3 mile steep grade with the temps in the 90's and the...
The block drain plugs on the 6.5's are behind the motor mounts unfortunatly. So you won't be able to just unscrew it and tap that for the coolant circulation.

I did the 2.8 to 350 in my old '84 S10 a few years ago. It had the 2.8/5 speed and i went with a 350/700R4. Much better after that, I used the Advance Adapters motor mounts & headers. A '74 Nova 3 core radiator and ran duals out the back with magnaflow cats and 40 series flowmasters.
Used the...
My understanding is that if you posted it with credit that you produced it, then you "donated" it for the site. There's nothing that says you can't "donate" it to another site as well, after all you created it.

I can help out as well, my truck is a '93 so i'm back in the mechanical IP, spring boost controller era. lol I've got some files saved with IP numbers, injector numbers..etc that i can dig up and some "reminder" doc's i cobbled together from various sources all over the place. :hurray:

I'm a member of several truck/car sites thus far. Full Size Chevy, 9C1, the 'page, the 'place, gm-diesel, sixfivediesel..etc but usually frequent the TDP every day. Thus far i've not seen any changes that would run me off from TDP, but if the 6.5 section goes so will I. I'll be here as well to...
