I have an automatic 96 burban 6.5l. I wanna put in a newer more powerful motor.

1)Is it possible and what should i look for and waht brands?

2)Is it possible to make it stick if it was auto and whats involved?

Thanks much.


Love this truck but want it to be stick and have some more balls

best advice i would have is to find another wrecked truck that is already a standard..there are too many things that need to be changed to list in one post..and rounding up all the parts needed could be time consuming and expensive one at a time...as far as a better engine... the answers are unlimited

Didnt a member on here do a 5 speed swap in a suburban?

Peninsular Diesel will build you a powerful 6.5 motor. I picked the 300hp version which is a good compromise between power and longevity. They have a 400hp twin turbo version if you've got the itch for more power. It looks very spiffy.
