Re: Square Body 350TBI/TH400(2wd) to 6.5/NV4500 (4wd). Advice/Help needed.

I am on the fence about the DB2 swap.. I have all the wiring and everything to stay with the DS4 and possible just the pmd is dead. I did grab the module and ecm . I also have the radiator from the donor, it is huge!! Also have the oil cooler as well.

I got a set of hydraulic pedals. I have a build thread going on now, Lets build a 1 ton 4x4 is what it is called, please check it out! I just got the NV4500 mounted in and the test fitting the 6.5 in the frame now.

Do you know if the 6.5 has different engine mounts (the pieces that bolt to block then to clamshell mounts.) as in one side is different from the other? I am having a time to get it to sit perfectly.

I am swapping to a k5 blazer tank in the rear, I am getting a diesel tank but not sure how it is different from gas, is it just doesn't have a baffle or something?

Also curious on how to run exhaust, i have the 6.5TD turbo and stock exhaust, I saw some people say to use the 6.2 ds exhaust and some say dont.
