Im going to turbo the motor that will be going into my old 6.2 chevy 1 ton 2wd dump truck.

I found a truck that was headed to the scrap yard that had a running motor with recent rebuild on the motor (only 30k on rebuild) and 150k total. I pulled the motor and swapped a junk 6.2 with the guy.

I have the following... more will follow with the project.

6.5 turbo
Intake cover
ManifoldIm using the factory intake and customizing the cover to fit if I ever decide to pull the parts.

Here are a few pics from today when I pulled the motor and brough it home. The turbo is resting on the strap. Ill be power washing the motor so I didnt pull the manifold yet.

Here is a pic of the material that I took out to get it to fit on the stock 6.2 intake:

Here is a shot where I marked the outside edge of the intake where the 6.5 intake cover hangs over.... Ill build up some material then mill it off flat so it sits on the whole intake:

Looks like fun... Good luck! :)

Thanks! I was checking it out today and it looks like the downpipe for the exhaust will be close! I might have to stick it down outside the frame rail.... but Ill have to wait and see.

I power washed it today and pulled the oil pan and everything off the motor to give it a quick paint and do some cleaning as well as prepping for the turbo.
