    Looking to swap in a 6.2 into my c10

    6.2s are a good engine and will last as long as you maintain them and don't treat them like a cummins or a powerstroke. they are a light duty fuel economy diesel. I just converted my crew cab over to a twin turbo 6.2 from a 454. it was pretty darn easy.

    6.2 conversion

    I would order a flywheel for the 6.5 from rock auto or a local auto parts store. also make sure the harmonic balancer and front pulley rubber are in good condition. if they are not a broken crank can result. for the injectors I would get bosch brand, I am building a pop tester so I can rebuild...

    broken starter?

    I broke the nose cone off a brand new starter. the bolts i had were a little worn on the knurling so it didnt hold the starter well enough. got a new starter and new bolts and its all good now.

    Spring hanger rivets???

    I have used all methods listed above and they all have their moment when it works best. Just wear a mask if you are doing any grinding on the rivets to avoid getting sick.

    6.2 diesel flywheel

    I am pretty sure it is a duall mass flywheel. I have not ran the part number on it yet. Also it is broken so i need to find a 6.2 diesel flywheel. Two of the springs in it are very loose and that is why it is able to rotate.
