found some pics of the new 6.5 from GEP...note the bridge plate/girdle integrated to the block.power levels are apparently in the 250 hp range.

also note the central turbo (hummer),set for intercooler install.hope the pics turn out.

hope it's okay to post pics off another site btwy...:eek:

I want one now. Wow.

Neat.

Unfortunately I would question that the engine would even fit into our chassis. That girdle is adding a few inches of depth to the oil pan rail. I would think that a custom oil pan would be in order at the very least. I am pretty sure a conventional Humvee oil pan can not fit into a C chassis and probably a very tight fit into a K chassis if it is possible.

Yeah. A guy on ********** put one in his K series truck. The custom oil pan cost him $600. But it worked.

I would love to see inside the bottom end of that beast. I wonder if the girdle replaces the main caps as a unit (yes it has been done on many engines before) or if it is truly a girdle and fastens the main caps together somehow.

by looking at how shiny that thing is, I guess swapping in my DB2 is out of the question:D

I'm still waiting for someone to post specs on the injection system... They said it was different.... How different is what I want to know.... What do we have to ditch to swap? Will our PCM work still? And is it still an IHI turbo?

A new 6.5 is great, but without that injection system we can't dip into that STOCK 250hp & 550tq.

Great find on the pics BTW.

Yes. The girdle is one piece with all the main caps cast into it. It is a sweet looking engine with the pan off.

Man, always a day late and much $ short. I missed the pics
