6.2 flywheels are all the same. The part numbers are even the same on the late model 6.5 that went away from the dual mass flywheel.

I will jump in too. Seems like I need something from the past to keep me going even if my supplies of 6.2/6.5 parts is getting thin.

I installed a 6.2 into a K-5 Blazer back in 1985. I ran a sm 465 4 speed tranny, 36 inch tires, 1 ton running gear with 4.10's and lockers front and rear. It was a blast to drive. I wish I would have turboed it. The only issues I ran into was the crossmember that ran under the oil pan had to be...

:mad2:I bought one of the first sets of E rated 265's that came out. The first thing I noticed was that the E rated tires only have about 1/2 the siping of the D rated tires, (this is why the severe snow rating is missing) the next thing I noticed was that the tread depth is 1/32 less than the...

The toyo m-55 has a good reputation for lasting well.

Good to see you Chicago

How about a place for swaps? Seems like the older rigs are always looking for swaps, with a lot of military rigs hitting the market there is a lot of interest in adding an overdrive tranny. And with a lot of older gas engines out there that get 10 mpg on a good day, there are some people that...

32' Holiday Rambler Alumascape 5er about 11,500, with a 14' stock trailer loaded with horses behind it during hunting season or with a little 5x7 trailer with my 4 wheeler the rest of the time. The little trailer is hard to see back there:crazy:

I think I still have a dummy shaft, it is required to drive the oil pump off of the cam gear, but it allows you to remove the vacuum pump. PM me if you are interested.

Exhaust manifold bolts are interference fit (threads fit tight so they self lock) it is best to use factory bolts. They are metric, and around grade 9.8, about grade 5 equivalent.

It's more fun to be around names I am familiar with, so here I am!
