I got my 6.5 turbo diesel engine running on a stand, the NV4500 is off being rebuilt and converted to 4x4. My trans shop is using an advance adapters kit to take the NV4500 to a round pattern NP205 which they are also building for me. The transmission will be more expensive than the engine swap :whine:

6.5 is a 1992 mechanical injection motor. I replaced gaskets, water pump, timing chain, harmonic balancer and pulley. Gave it a rattle can "rebuild" in the process.

YouTube vid of motor running on the stand.

got some rusted spots replaced on the drivers side, installed my ORD shackle flip and springs temp installed, realized I have a 4 inch lift not a 6, now to decide which way to go. 6 inch springs for the front and bigger tires. if so it will have to stay outside as it wont fit in the Garage.
