hey guys i have a 98 6.5 non turbo and the crank is wiped out, its hard to find non turbo engines in the salvage yards. i found a ton of 6.5 turbo motors though. what would be involved in putting the turbo motor in and still keeping in naturally asperated. is there any differences between the two mototrs like stroke and compression? thanks guys

swap the intake and injection pump and it will work just fine

You will have to swap the block off plate onto where the turbo oil return is. Same engine. A 6.2 would swap in also.
