Hello,
New to the forum, greetings. I'm looking at purchasing a 1995 G30 van with a 6.5 n/a (125,000) and after some research, I had a few questions that I could not find answers for. My ideal engine would have been the 6.2 J series, but beggars can't be choosers and the price/condition is right on this van. I could see doing a swap to the 6.2 later down the line if need be. Any info would be appreciated.
1. Does the n/a have any fewer issues than the TD? (cracked block, head gasket, PMD overheat, DS4 pump, etc.)
2. I'd like the option to run bio or WVO at some point. Am I SOL?
3. It seems to me that the n/a is more mechanical like the 6.2, is that correct?
4. Anything major to check before the sale?
Thanks!
