Here's the deal: I have an '86 K2500 that came with a 6.2 from the factory. It went boom. It was swapped for a NA 6.5 by Gillett Diesel in '95. They tell me that the NA version they swapped in is the same longblock, with the same compression ratio, as the turbo version and that adding a turbo would be in my best interest. My question is how? It still has the mechanical Stanadyne IP, mechanical lift pump, & model 80 filter. Is this really possible? I know there is a bit of an exhaust clearance issue but I can fab and weld anything so I don't think that'd be a problem. Does anyone know if and where I'd run into problems? Thanks in advancefor helping a noobie out.
