Tell me about GEP 6.2Ls?

[GM Guy]

Hey all,

I ran across what the seller claims to be a GEP 6.2L. Is this possible? I thought GEP only made 6.5Ls.

Regardless, for the price (well under1K) I think I will buy it, but I just wanted to know more.

Any info appreciated, thanks!

Probably doesn't know what he has. Make sure it has the diamonds in the valley

Gep only made 6.5- you are correct.
Seller Either doesn’t know the truth or doesn’t want to tell the truth. Either way you need to verify everything they say before paying anything.

It has a GEP valve cover, still in the military crate. wants 400 bucks. 1000 miles from home, (but will be within 10 miles of my next trip out west) so I figure its worth the risk.

All you can do is look. No 6.2 wver had the gep labeled cover on it. You need pictures of different angles to see what’s what. The person might have been told it is a 6.2 when what is for sale is a P400= for all we know. It also could be a totally trashed 6.2 with not one useable interior part and they put a GEP valve cover on it with intent to mislead. It

EDIT: NOT 10 miles off the path.

Darn craigslist and their map...

I can make it along the way though...

I suggest there is confusion over 6.2 and 6.5's. All you can do is look. I have seen military surplus 6.2's that have a "GM 6.2L D" cast on the passenger side block that would be a dead giveaway:
