In April, Matt Koenig from Peninsular quote me the following prices. New GEP 6.5 = $6,100 New performance GEP 6.5 = $6,500 P400 = $7,200 These prices do not include fuel system, including injector pump, injectors, fuel lines, return line or a turbo.

So the question of the day is this. In talking with Matt Koenig at Peninsular Diesel, the only things compatible between the Optimizer/P400 engine and the GM 6.5l TD are the external parts. That means that none of the internal parts are compatible between the old GM and newer GEP engines. So if...

Tell me how to sending money for the dyno fund. Irrespective of whether I put in a 6.5 or a Cummins I would like to see what results you can come up with.

I am in the middle of the 6.5 TD vs Cummins 12v debate...internal of course. Would like to keep it all GM if possible. I am mainly after dependability, reliability, fuel mileage and if it happens to have a legitimate 250 rwhp so much the better. I am still sorting what I consider to be some...

I gladly chip in $20 bucks. Don't have an engine yet and need more info. I too would like to see any DB2 truck on the rollers.

I have been looking at the threads for a while. If I go with a 6.5 I will not be using the Banks turbo. The S-10 AC box is not an easy modification. I have looked at an aftermarket AC system that completely removes the AC box. That then adds a lot more cost to what some might consider a...

I am working on my frame off restoration on a 1985 Chevy K30 Crew Cab short bed. I am trying to decide on an engine. A big part of me wants to keep everything GM against the conventional wisdom to dump the 6.5 and stick in a Cummins. I am not finding a lot of information or guys sticking a 6.5...

6.5L... hows your truck continuing to run?

As a side note, the sound of a Cummins kind of drives me nuts :smash:

dka99burb...I hear you and feel your frustrations. I am doing an frame off restoration on a 85 Chevy K30 crewcab. I am leaning very heavily towards a Cummins swap right now. Yet I find myself wanting to keep it all GM. But the reliability issues haunts me. I have even heard of some having...

I remember those days. Especially living on the Southfork just out of town before they raised the dam and constructed the dikes. The dust was looked like a Biblical plague.

Does your motor smoke much?

How many miles on your motor?

My story is I am doing a frame off restoration on a 1985 Chevy K30 CrewCab. The frame has just been recently painted. I am getting some push to put a Cummins in it versus a GM 6.5. MY worry with the Cummins repower is the unintended consequences of something that it did not come from the...

Does anyone know what kind of turbo's will fit on a Banks RH exhaust manifold other than Banks? Like the ATT!

I am interested in the changes as well. As I said I am doing a frame off restoration on a 85 Chevy CCSB. I have been getting a lot of arm twisting to put in a Cummins 12v. Though I am partial to keeping it all GM. That said I am looking at having enough hp for a daily driver with towing on...

It would be interesting to see what it dyno's out at. Good job.

Very nicely done. Tire size? How long have you had the motor? How is it for towing? My oldest son played basketball at and graduated from Cody High. Miss living on the Southfork and looking at the Carter Mountains!

I used to hang out in Cody back in the 90's. One of my favorite places to be...still. Is this on a stock motor or was anything special done to it? What kind of fuel mileage are you getting? Great numbers!!

Yeah, Bill Heath told me about this site. I did make it up the hill Wednesday night. Not sure when I will be back down. Maybe the middle of May if my son qualifies for the state track meet.
