Casey,
Thanks again for a very informative post! I checked out your website, and found all of the pics of your turbo conversion. (I liked your first truck, BTW
, it kinda looks mine does now! ) I saved most of the pics showing the exhaust pipes, and overall set-up for future reference. I have a Garrett T3 from a fairly low mileage Buick Gran National. Do you think it would work, or is too small? I know it came on a 3.8 Liter (231 cu in) engine. It has a wastegate, so I was thinking maybe it has the capacity to feed the 6.2, since being a Diesel, it will obviously be kept at lower RPM's than the 3.8L was. I have seen these adapted to bigger V8 gas engines with success, but I'm not an expert on Turbos by any means. I am going to retain the 4 speed SM420 tranny that is in my one ton. I am going to replace the big 5.14 geared (yes, you read that right, 5.14!) Eaton rearend that is in now with a 14 bolt with 3.42 gears so it will more highway friendly. I have 3 trucks these "4 speed grannies" as they're called, and I love these transmissions. I think the diesel will really work well with this gearset, because they will make a worn out engine seem strong. I can't wait to get started on this project!
