Had a slight delay in meeting with Paul this morning. A comment was made, by me, and was taken the wrong way. I am sure Paul will tell all soon! If he ever quite laughing!!!

Really looking forward to this but prepared for the inevitable delay. What could possibly go wrong. You will have the needed items off the front of your pickup. A good mechanic working with you also, not me! I mean you have everything needed at your place!! Wait a minute, you still need...

Going to add my $.02 worth to maybe help with your problem. Take your grounds from where they are on the dipstick brace and move them to your Filter Manager bolt, behind you intake. The dipstick brace goes into a water jacket and will, and in your case did, cause corrosion. 2 wires should be...

The only correct way to do this would be have a good running 'stock' engine and go to a specific chassis dyno and spend money for a few runs. Make sure all the parts are in perfect working order, what isn't perfect spend the money to get them that way. Then take the engine apart and install the...

Would you like to see just the engine on a dyno stand or a specific vehicle on a chassis dyno? Would it be a water type dyno or an electric brake type dyno? Who would be operating the dyno? Would it be at a big dyno day where every vehicle would use the same setup? Or where it would be just set...

If you are talking about my brother-in-law, it is Jalisco, Mexico. I'm moving to southern Arizona!

Like Paul just mentioned, try to time it to be at Bonneville. But a TTS get together would be fun also. As Paul also mentioned, there was an issue with valve to piston clearance, with the 1st design towing cam. With my 'new' heads I had to have just .002 taken off the valve stem when I had to...

After I unloaded the monster truck chassis I headed south on I-45 and took I-10 east. Stayed in Baton Rouge that evening and met up with Tim and Paul. As I said Tim's pickup really hauls the mail. But the part that really got to me was when Pepperidge got on his Duramax and was hazing the rear...

I got the towing cam. For weighing in close to 8,000 pounds and the engine being a 6.2 with new 6.5 heads along with the little GM-3 I think it does what it should. The power curve is a lot more that what I had expected. It will pull hard all the way thru 4,000 but I won't be doing that again. I...

I hit 15 pounds of boost at 1,900, in this real cold air, real easy and it will get a lot more boost, if I'm not careful. I have hit the 4,000 rpm mark with no problem, just to see how hard the engine would pull in the higher rpm range. Can't say it pulled any harder at the higher rpm but no...

Thoughts of a bigger turbo have crossed my mind, many times. The way Tim's 1/2 ton GMC flat got with the program really amazed me. And the fact that he pulls his gooseneck trailer and gets good mileage also got me thinking about a larger turbo. But this is the first time my thoughts got out on...

Well Paul bought all the parts of my old engine, including my GM-8. All of the special extrude-honed parts. Extra parts on hand, at the time, was a GM-3 with a turbomaster. Get good boost, as much as I want the engine to take. The engine also has ARP head studs. I can climb most any grade, with...

Well I'll talk about a Heath Cam. I have one in my engine now. After all the hard times getting the parts, under warranty, from Diesel Depot, I bought a 40K mile 1982 6.2l diesel, stuck a set of Celvite bearing on both sides of the connecting rods and both sides of the stock 6.2 crank shaft...

Well I sold my '81 short box. I got an offer I couldn't pass up. Now I won't be doing the conversion. But I still have a few flywheel and clutch setups left over. Single mass flywheels.

That was 'a lot of money' ago!

Why, what happens then?

Look at the space between the pickup bed and the cab, there you will see the filler neck. Passenger side will be seen a lot easier because of the location of my spare tire and wheel side mount. It will be just forward of the tire.

Sorry. I'm not sure who makes it. 635 bought it off of someone along with one for me that wasn't chrome. Didn't work for him so he gave it to me...now I have two. The bumper is an early Warn. it is a little scratched in places, but with a 12K winch it will work well on Paul's truck and it...

Paul, when all is said and done, we can add up the total cost of that specific engine. You money invested and mine! My problem is I haven't kept every cost but I do know what I spent, like you have!!! Everyone on this site may end up gasping for air! Some things getter better with time and some...

Hey guys if the Kings aren't good for 6.x's let me know please! Nothing else will ever go in my race motors! So before I order the new ones y'all let me know! King bearings are real good bearing, but not for extreme compression engines like the 6.2 and 6.5. There are a few engine...
