IP priming questions

[homelessduck]

Alright guys , I need your opinion ...

I found a 6.2 in a vehicle for $1,000. It was wrecked in to a curb and bent the wheels , smashed windshield and broke the grill.
It has a banks turbo , new batteries , new water pump , new 4 row aluminum radiator. Im thinking about just buying it and tossing the engine in mine.

What do you guys think ? After parting it out and scrapping it I could get the engine for less than it would cost to put mine back together ..

I dropped the heads off today to get checked out. I will be picking up the other 6.2 next week. If my heads turn out to be good I will toss new gaskets on it and keep it as a spare I guess. From everything I hear about these it would be smart to have a spare 6.2 haha.

Both heads are cracked ...

Just adapt a 6.9-7.3 to that 4l80, I think it might be possible with an "ultra bell"

That would definitely be a cool swap ! I ran across a suburban on craigs with a cummins in it for less than what I have in mine , haha. Hindsight sucks. And apparently no one makes 6.2 heads anymore so that really sucks .. Im going to pick up that other engine and hope it lasts awhile. I may sell it after I finish it. I havent had much luck with chevys

put studs and gasket in it before you put it in.

I rented a car and drove up to Portland to pick up the suburban last weekend. The seller said it was driveable but it wasn't .... so I left it and came home empty handed. Im so over this thing. I think I'm going to pick up a 454 and toss it in and sell it...

A 454 is as bulletproof as it can get. Maybe the 350 is a more bulletproof than that but hell. Everybody sells speed parts for those engines.

I found a donor vehicle with a fuel injected 454. Going to check it out tomorrow. I wouldnt be able to afford to drive it but im sure it would sell easier. A 454 should bolt to my 4l80 right ?

The 6.2/6.5 actually use the sbc bolt pattern.

Ok, I have seen multiple ways to prime an injection pump... in fact I have done it several times in the past...

Yes, do you plan on using the computer and all to keep the 454 injected and use the 4l80? What year tbi 454? The mpg may surprise you.

My burb was 6.5td and now is tbi 454......I will never go back....slightly more power, same towing mpg, slightly less unloaded mpg.
