Re: 6.2 swap

I assume you mean a 6.2 diesel? If your getting a 6.2 LS motor for 200.00 I want one too.

I think it would be a lllloooooooooonnnnnnggggggg day to get this done.

I don't think you could get all the bugs worked out that fast. Will you have a donor vehicle to pull parts from or are you just getting the motor and trans? It would be a lot easier if you had the complete vehicle to get parts from.

Re: 6.2 swap

I think if you try to gather up all the parts you need before hand I think you could do the swap in a weekend. How close is the nearest parts store, hardware store, and junkyard? It's always the little parts that screw up a project like this. I'm lucky, I've got a Ace hardware store right across the street and an Autozone about three minutes up the road.

Re: 6.2 swap

napa, autozone, and oreillys all with 10 minutes, but them actually having the parts in stock is another matter. and no junkyards near have the diesel setup of my style truck.
