Use a van engine in a truck

This seems like a game changer.

First I heard of it.

Center Mount to Side Mount Conversion High Flow Plenum​

Center Mount to Side Mount Conversion High Flow Plenum

Bolt-on solution to use a center mount turbo 6.5L engine with side mount turbo exhaust manifolds! The used market often has an abundance of center mount turbocharger engines from Vans, Busses, and H1 Hummers. Due to a difference in the cylinder head bolt angle, you can't simply swap on a truck...

Yeah- thats a nice set up for it. You also have to get the oil block off plate & seal for where the centermount turbo normally is.

The van/hummer/hmmwv intake manifold doesn’t flow as well as the truck lower or hummer n/a intake. Idk if @Twisted Steel Performance has the flow numbers handy but I remember one cylinder (#2 iirc) was horrible. Idk what it would take to fix that… massive hole saw? Haha.

I think the kit comes with the block off plate
