If you bolt SBC heads onto a 6.2 i want pictures


That is like a chick wearing a cup

[yozsi]

hahaha, a gasser with 17:1 compression!!! gonna have to retard that timing alot because its gonna start dieseling. lol

[SFAtoyota]

The distributor might give you alittle trouble but good luck let us know how that works for you.

[6.2Blazer]

Go for it! I heard that combo would make for a kick-ass engine.

[1BURBAN]

umm........... I dont think thats gonna work dude.

[DUG]

Whoa....

Um...

Yeah...

No, it won't work. Not even kinda.

You want to go to gas you need to change the motor.

Try sorting out your 6.2 issues, they are just about the simplest motor out there and should be easy to figure out and fix.

Well maybe nit for you....

[yozsi]

well man, i know detroit diesel designed the 6.2 from the ground up. i dont think they are the same, also the pistons are wayyyyyy off to work in a gasser combustion chamber.

Hey, Hey, Hey guys whadda 'spect---it's TUESDAY!!!!

yea, but thats for the 350 diesel not the 6.2 detroit.

[supervert]

i didn't catch that it was a 5.7 intill after i posted it. i just remembered reading it. hopefully some of it helps him realize that its not worth the time or money.

[yozsi]

exactly, why redesign an engine that 50+ engineers designed to work. i highly doubt you would make it better. also.... its a damn 6.2 diesel, just fix it and be happy with the good fuel milage you get and laugh at all the guys getting 6 mpg with thier 383 strokers.

[cj8scrambld]

I think you should put the SBC heads on a SBF as you'd get much better power and economy from them. Also, the compression ratio won't be as high as if you put the SBC heads on to the 6.2 diesel block. As for an intake manifold just use a SBC intake BUT besure to weld the dizzy hole in the rear and re-drill a new dizzy hole in the front for the Ford diz. Best of luck to you on this project. Sounds like an interesting one, keep us posted, and besure to post dyno results.

for your 6.2 problems go to dieselplace.com and get it sorted out, they are a simple engine and 9 out of 10 times its a fuel problem with them. so check the diesel first, and i'm not sure but would sbc heads fit anyways?

[Big4x4Rides]

Are you shitting me????

[bucksntrucks969]

ok first off you have no idea how an engine works, whether gas or diesel. diesel engines fire on compression, have no spark plugs, distributor or anything.

the 6.2L is NOT simply a 383 stroker w/ high compression, it is an entirely different engine, ENTIRELY. this is not a sbc variant like the olds diesel.

next time you have a question, think, research, or at least learn about your junk first.

this is why evolution is a good thing, people like this may someday be weeded out of the gene pool

I'm not a diesel person myself, but I don't think they have a distributor.

That might be a problem right there.

Come on guys. Don't discourage the lad. I think he's on to something here.


For Petes sake. another poor soul that thinks that Wyotech is going to make him an expert.

You might try reading about things on your own. I grew up on Hot Rod and Truckin mags, and then damn near everything in the peterson lineup before they became the sorry rags they are today. And I still read everything that even remotely interests me, because there is always the chance I might take something from it and be able to use it. I've read damn near every buildup on Pirate, copied a lot of ideas I liked, ruled out the ones I didn't, not because they were bad, but they weren't what I wanted.

There is nothing wrong with wanting to push the envelope a bit, we all do. But you have to have some baseline of knowledge to start with.


My first impulse was to let you have it with both barrels, and I ain't quite over it yet, but you caught me in a good mood. It's not quite as stupid as some I've read in the last few days, but you didn't do your homework, You just pulled something out of your ass, didn't even look at it to see if it was possible, and then came on here wanting everyone to pat you on the head and tell you what a bright lad you are. Then, when told it wouldn't work, you still didn't go and look for yourself, you argued about it, even tho you were completely ignorant of the facts. That puts you right up there with a lot of assholes I know. Not the best company to be associated with.


Know what you are talking about BEFORE you open your mouth. It'll save you a lot of grief in these here parts.

I'll be the nice guy and simply say your information is a mish-mash of...well...misinformation.

I would have to think the Isuzu-GM association thing stems from the much newer Duramax motors which are in fact Isuzu sourced.

The idea that the intake and heads will swap over stems from the 350 Olds diesel thing and even then it most certainly is not a direct swap as I'm sure you will find with some reading.

Yep, the 6.2 is kind of in its own world. It is not in any way, shape, or form a small block Chevy. You really just need to decide to fix it or replace it entirely. You can't just re-engineer it in your backyard. It just doesn't work that way. Thinking outside the box is good, but you need to keep sight of the box when you're doing it.

[dahoyle]

Hey, I thought I was being nice.

[440-fide Ramcharger]

Bye.

[tacoma73]

I'll be an asshole and say that this guy doesn't know jack shit about much, regarding engines.

But hell yeah, try it. But for fuck's sake, dont' know a damn thing about 6.2 and SBC architecture. Oh, don't do that, because if you did, you'd have shut your own stupid mouth before you got started.

This might just be the dumbest thing I've ever read.

[Koots]

The 6.2 doesn't connotate a 383 either. it's a 379 ci diesel engine built by detroit diesel which was the precursor of the more current 6.5 (pre D-max).
The 5.7 Oldsmobile diesel was a converted gas engine and it was prone to cracking the block. Diesels have twice the compression of a gas engine to ignite the diesel fuel with no spark. they don't even have conventional throttle bodies.

And to switch you diesel to a gas engine, even for the olds, would relate to alot of work anyway and alot of parts and money. Get a new fuel pump and filter/seperator, some fuel treatment (to clean out gunk in the tank and lines) and some new glow plugs and a controller. those are the most common areas of the 6.2 to be replaced. If you can't find out bring it to a mechanic and have him describe what he had done. you gotta learn somewhere.
