yep..possibly so,except its the military one.it says on air box 190hp..

however i agree sod all for 6.2l..however the torque!

anddddddddd...i have brand new turbo to go on..lpg injection and nitros...

so thats the power sorted then:D:D:D:D:D:D

today mary and i got stuck in...

engine sorted!!for those in the know,you will notice injector nuts not painted!!

no turbo with...have one already bn in box..gonna have to fab up manifolds,but i may well get around this by inverting or swaping over..not sure yet,been too busy doing everything else to think about that..
if all else fails then usa ebay for 6.5 manifolds..

i like grey..same colour as cummins engines..and decided there would be too much black if painted engine black too,though rocker covers may still go black
 
wanted..2 t3 or t3/4 hybrid.(off 2.5-3l engines) or TD5 turbochargers...
 
well i have a single that will be fine,but i likey the idea of twin small ones..quicker spool up and easy manifold mods...(ie drill holes heat to red hot weld in new tube,block off oe exits)no pipe going under engine...and it looks kool....that ,tweek ip 1/4 turn and advance timing 3 degrees should give 250hp and 450-500lbs torque ..let alone adding lpg and nitros...
that should go well...
