What did you do with your GMT400 today...or yesterday....

My engine is a 6.2 N/A 599 block bored 30 over. 6.5 heads. Mine didn’t have ports for either the OPS in the valley or front of the block for turbo oil feed. If the one you’re looking at is the same, you’ll need to make a T-Block fitting for the OPS and Turbo Oil Feed line using the oil port at the back of the block. I used brass to ensure proper ground for the OPS.

Yeah, that is the same as the cracked 6.2 that i picked up a couple year ago. there is some sort of restrictor fitting in the block there that's tee'd off to the turbo on it. did you need a restrictor on there not to get full flow or pressure to the turbo?
 
No restrictor was used. You're the first one to mention it. Given the OPS port isn't restricted and, so far as I know, the Turbo's Oil Feed Line on the 6.5 isn't restricted given the amount of oil that came out of my old 6.5 engine's port when left open once (no I don't want to discuss it).
 
Would the pan on my current 6.5 fit on that block? I have the other 6.2 that has the cracked main webs also that is complete with a pan. hoping this engine turns out good, once I get it all together and ready to install, I can post up all the remaining parts if someone needs them.

if the pan that's on the engine will work, I will leave it and the current 6.5 intact, inspect the 6.5 to see if it's a viable rebuilder. might be good to fix up for a spare drop in engine.
 
Yea I forgot about that. the 6.2 I have that's cracked is a two piece rear main. Hopefully the pan will clear the cross member. the burb it's in I believe is a 2wd, so is my 93.
 
I guess Once I get the engine home and all, I need to start making plans to have the IP rebuilt and ready. not sure who I should use. if all works out, I would like to get one rebuilt, then later get the one that's on the 6.5 done too. with this engine coming home with me, I will have a total of three DB2 IP's. wonder if someone can rebuild one and have it ready for the 6.2 and maybe have some instructions on what to do or how much to turn the fuel screw so it can be spec'd for a 6.5 later down the road.

Maybe it would be cheaper on my end to send all three in to get two good ones back with them keeping one for them to rebuild and sell.
