Re: Project 67 GMC custom 6.5 turbo diesel

Definitely check out Heath Diesel, really good guys

The 5-speed is a good swap for the over drive & beings how you do actually tow something with this, the manual trans want be a problem (I just didnt know if this was a in town putter or a hauler)

For going 85 you are prolly gonna want something taller than 373's so it may not tow that great... There is a fine line there & you just have to decide which way you wanna go

The bigger injectors is a good deal, infact Heaths big injectors are pretty good

One thing you REALLY need to do to this engine, is get a 96 & later (IIRC) cooling system, they made a lot of changes to it & without it you will most likely over heat it

Also tell Bill that Lee Parker recommended you
He can help you with keeping this thing going & preventing some common problems with them

Im not saying that they are "bad" engines, just not Uber powerful
