Re: Turbo 6.2 or 292 swap

I used to own 87 R10 6.2, 25+mpg, repair was $$ (you have to remove the front cover to get the water pump off!). Loved it, sold it a couple years ago and moved on.

Next up, 292 , get running, convert to TBI, then add turbo. Probably will go to lighter pistons and longer rods at the same time, more efficient set up than the original. But hose old 6's, feed them oil and drive, with HEI, no issues for many many miles.
