Lookin at a new project...

[FrozenRedneck]

So my 1991 threw a rod and i parted it out here in town, 350 for the ZF5, 250 for the rearend, 200 for t-case, 650 for tires and weels, crushed the rest... Good riddance, nuthin but heartaches, what was i thinkin?

Always been a chevy boy, found a 92 K-2500 5spd single cab with a turboed 6.2 for 1400

How much of an issue was blowby on these guys? Said its got a problem with it, but most of these guys can't tell their ass from a snowcone in broad daylight , let alone diagnose a truck...
This'll be my first 6.2, so any hints, tips or tricks would be much appreciated.

Thanks guys.

blowby issues is no different compared to the 6.9/7.3.
do the upgrades on the cooling system or you will loose a motor on the first overheat.

there's no such thing as a easy IC swap on a GM product.
A) no room
B) no room.
best to cram in a air to water IC on these trucks.

Now I've had great luck with these engines, but I don't know about the cooling system upgrade. I'm curious, what is the upgrade?
