Re: 6.2 Diesel Questions

I believe the HMMWV as it's own set of heads that use a special intake. Other then that all of the major components are bolt on. Taking the turbo charger from a 6.5 and putting it on a 6.2 is a bolt on deal.

If you do a turbo swap you can keep your heads though. The only real difference between 6.5, and 6.2 heads is the precup size. Which everyone I have talked to that swapped to the larger 6.5 ones saw no real power gains.

Just remember to be careful with the girl. Before my 6.5 goes in my truck it is getting A LOT of work to beef it up. Including head studs, custom girdle, filling the water jackets, head studs, and a few other things. Then again, I'm shooting for at least 350HP.
