1982 trans am 6.5 twin turbo diesel
its my picture limited (for now) write up on the ups and downs on my 6.5 diesel swap and later on twin alternators, twin turbos, quad batteries, and a full cold start wvo veg kit (super cheap/free fuel) i may also be doing a upper control arm swap and i will be doing a rack and pinion conversion , i`ve planed and measured for a full pc and also plan to do some kind of hvac mod , ive done no measurement or test on the hvac but intend to install individual vent flaps electronically switched and a high flow fan system along with quite possibly 2 heater cores and 2 ac systems (compressor condenser and evaporator) i basically want the best (if someone does better for one thing i wont care but combined it needs to be the best) and i dont wanna have to re do anything , i already had installed and runningish one 6.5 but it blew a connecting rod as i got screwed over on the engine , im gonna pick one up next month (July 2013) from the you pull yard for 300 with turbo (need a second one) it fit with no mods but i need to do a 4l80e swap and had to do mods to fit the manifolds , i will be starting with non turbo and 1 alternator and no ac or heater core also only 2 batteries and as easy as that sounds it may end up harder than with 2 turbos or as least harder than if i went with headers , i chose the stock manifolds , and needed to chop the top of the turbo manifold off to fit the passenger side manifold , and for the drivers side i needed to cut the corner off of the rear drivers side lower control arm mount and notch the sub frame , i can get pictures of these parts , but the engine was removed so no pictures of that (i just as pissed on account of the inability to check clearances this produces , oh i forgot i will be doing a white paint job (currently black) with black accents
