Just got 2 599 6.5 engines and wanted to see if someone had a idea of what they originally came in.

Engine # 1:
tag on valve cover reads:
1994 model year
190hp@ 3400rpm
62.2mm3 @ 3400rpm
And it has a DB 4425 IP mechanical (wierd huh)
And it is a 599 casting.
Also has a mechanical lift pump similiar to a regular old SBC. The turbo drain goes to oil pan.

Engine # 2:
Tag reads:
1992 model year
200HP @ 3400rpm
59.5mm3 @ 3400rpm
DB2831 4911J IP

Check out the different outputs at different fuel rates...I thought that was interesting.
Also, this is the 1st 94 non electronic IP I have ever seen.

Anyone have any input/comments on these engines?

BTW, I might be interesting on selling if the price is right. I traded some work out for them thinking maybe I would do a 18:1 buildup...but I dont think I'll have the time. History is unknown on them, and the intakes/turbos are gone. Other than that, they are semi complete. If I get more serious about selling I will post pics and make a thread in selling. My main objective in this thread is to see what the heck these came out of and hopefully get some feedback.

#1 could possibly be military with the mech pump. (just a guess)

Or any other N/A application such as a frito-lay truck. My '93 and '94 have the same BS on the valve covers. It's just advertised horse power. I used to jokingly think to myself that the intake snorkel and the castweb must have made the hp drop with an increase in fuel.

Grumman-Olson (Frito-Lay) Panel trucks had mechanical pumps as late as '95, but I've only ever seen them with 5088 or 5436 pumps. 4425 is a new one to me, I think thats a 6.2.

pannel trucks have mechanical pumps as late as 99 from the ones i have worked on

See, there ya go, they were 5436 pumps werent they 69?

so do 94's have the 599 block

Could be steiner, just look in the valley wall next time the intake is off. I noticed 549 on a '95 recently.

The 1992 engine I know was turbo. The 94 Im not sure. But the HP kinda tells me it was a turbo. Also, it has a turbo oil drainback. So if I were a betting man..I'd say they were both turbo.

Also, a buddy of mine that works for the city said they have a 94 Mobile vacuum sweeper truck that has a turbo 6.5 w/mech IP. MMMMM.

I learn sumthin new everyday.

The second engine is the HD engine with Turbo. The First engine has the wrong pump on it.
