FNG here.
I await delivery on a 1987 6.2 L with a TH 400 stock transmission.
I have the intake and exhaust manifold and turbo charger from a 6.5. I am aware there are differences between the heads?
has anyone undertaken the task of turbo charging a 6.2? Is there are preferred method?
Is it as simple as swapping to a 6.5 head set? Which 6.5 head should I use if that is the case?
I am not interested in transmission swaps or swapping in a 6.5. I guess that limits some of my options. I am also not interested in switching in a Cummins.
Thanks,
T
PS: If this is not the appropriate forum, please let me know a better place to post.

Yes sir, put a Gale Banks Sidewinder on mine, then removed it for Whipple supercharger...worked good, was fairly easy, did not use the stock air box, just ran a K&N off the turbo.
This turbo was designed for the 6.2, no head swapping was necessary

Just as a conclusion 5 years later... I have a Whipple and I will be installing it. I have one on my Hummer H1 and it works well.
