6.2 diesel swap!!!!

[elstm3]

The 6.2l has a drain hole in the valley under the intake that goes into the bellhousing area. so if the fuel leaked into the valley it would run down into the bellhousing and out the inspeciton cover hole. Engine looks good BTW!

Just curious how you did the glow plugs wiring? I got a K30 I'm considering putting a 6.2 in in place of the 350. Also how Much better you think fuel mileage will go up over the gas motor in you're case?

Thanks I like clean swaps. I hate when people use Afro engineering techniques

I actially made my buddy do it cuz he owed me a favor and i hate wiring, but i had him ran a manual glowplug switch, one wire hot to switch the one coming out goes to the glowplugs and a light to show that they're on. I know how to wire but i just despise it. I got a whole new harness from a cucv but you could easily make it work with your gas harness, just a few wires to the IP a few to the fuel filter unit and your glowplugs. I asked around people claim about 20 with no OD and 4.10's so with the turbo probally around 16 but once I put in 3.42's I'm thinking ill be back up to 20.

If you plan on pulling with it definaty get a turbo, it makes a huge difference.

It looked like in the pics. If they are that stupid all the more reason to leave them on the side of the road.

Haha I know! But no, in the pics I have the handles taken out and the holes taped up. I don't believe masking too much, you get a better result if you remove things. Plus it's the way we have to do it at work
