Wow, 5300 rpms! I'd like to see an engine be able to go to 5500 rpm and I think I'd be in the same boat building an engine needing top end power for pulling and the nature of the V8. I'm gonna have to spin that engine up pretty good to get the weight moving and would be nice if it wouldn't...

The 6.5 has a 1.5 to 1 rocker arm ratio. That's according to specs right out of a GM Service Training Book I bought a few years back...dated 11/92.

:thumbsup: Congrats George! And here's to many many more troublefree, fun miles on that truck. Sure is a nice one.

What about Fleetguard? I have one installed on a 6.5 N/A engine that I thought would be a good choice for an oil filter to run.

I ran into this same problem with the truck I just bought over the weekend. Would not start because of major electrical and wiring issues. That red 12 gauge wire is down at the starter, not connected with copper showing at the end...just hanging there. Could only get the truck to crank over...

Wow, that's a good price. Is it good to 5,000 rpm and capable past it or....?

I sure do now know the power of the Tahoe! And yes, it was great to meet you too George and that nice, 6.2 powered truck also!

I would like to 2nd that and I think the Tahoe has a very good chance. Definitely runs like a raped ape and I had fun taking a ride in that unit! Had a fun-filled diesel day yesterday...only if every day could be that way.

Burgers and supplies...a tailgate party? Sounds like a great start to the weekend! And to both you guys, that is what I had planned...wanted to meet you guys somewhere Saturday morning and follow you up because if I didn't happen to be driving my truck up there to run it down the truck I was...

Where did you get the Hard Block and how long do you let it cure for? Looks like you're using the stock rocker arm/shaft setup...they new? Did you put in a cast steel Scat crank?

I'll certainly take you up on that offer as you do have a unique setup. And I could see myself needing some help in the customizing and fabricating process on a center mount setup. And not having much, doesn't mean you can't get things done. I'm the kinda guy that will work non-stop to get...

Nice and pretty looking engine there. Do like the color too and keep up the good work.

There ya go and maybe we've saw each other and not even known it, lol! I do plan on getting the Chevy as it's in good shape for the year, is a 1-ton dually standard cab/flatbed w/ a 6.2 that has I think 93,000 on it. And yea I'd run that HX52 on it in 5 seconds if I could get a center mount...

And yes, that is correct. The van/hummer turbos do have a unique and different exhaust housing that the accordian up-pipes directly clamp to. It is the GM-7 turbo and don't think it would be too useful after 10-12 psi as the exhaust housing looks very small, possibly smaller then your normal...

Hey littleboy, I am overdue and do have to come over to the shop. Did you say you are on Smith Station Road? And I've never been to Numidia, so I think I'll take you up on that offer...plus I don't have to work next weekend because I worked yesterday. I really do agree on the center mount...

Did you use 6.5 Hummer/Van manifolds to feed your T4 up pipe/flange and the setup you made...is it all one pipe or two seperate? Or maybe you just used the stock 6.2 non-turbo manifolds? Either way that is one nice setup and I think you can hit the boost and have superior flow because of how...

Exactly what I was thinking too. But nonetheless an HX55 is definitely cool to see ran on a 6.2 engine. Did you have to change the exhaust housing? Because I know you said it's full 4" exhaust and most HX55 turbos have a 5" outlet. Have to adapt and reduce in size right at the turbo outlet...

What make and model turbocharger did you use? Nice, impressive install by the way.

Haven't heard many good things about dual mass flywheels on any diesel. I would go solid flywheel and South Bend clutch...last time you'd have to touch that area for a looong time. :D

Nice setup indeed! And good thing about those CAT turbos is they have the 4" exhaust outlet, while a lot of your stock Holset turbos for the early Cummins have just 3" outlets. Have seen many an S200 under the hoods of plenty of trucks at work. Small CAT 3116, 3126, and C7 used them...
