From what I read on the diesel page it sounded like for power I wanted the larger prechambers from later 6.5s. They sacrificed the better fuel economy of the smaller prechambers in order to produce more power but this is pigpen so mileage aint no concern.

The bigger prechambers are better for high end power. Since you'll spend most of you time between idle and 1500, and the smaller prechambers are probably a better candidate since their smaller displacement actually produces better low end torque. I have the big prechambers, and they're nice for anything ~1800 and over when I'm making 10+ psi. If you're looking to shore up the budget, don't waste money on bigger prechambers - reuse what you have as long as they're not badly cracked.

Ok cool. Among the smaller pre-chambers, which are the best ones? IIRC correctly, of the two sets of a heads I have in the garage, one has the single square dot chambers and the other has 2 square dots. I'll need to check and see what I have back at my shop but those are the 2 "useable" sets I have laying around.

[AgDieseler]

The single dot pre-cups were originally used in light-duty 6.2L applications from 1982-90, while the pre-cups with 2 dots were originally used in heavy-duty 6.2L applications from 1986-90.

1 Dot PN: 23500082
2 Dot PN: 23500250

I'd say pick the set that is in better shape, and purchase 4 to match for the other head.

My radiator got stolen, which bring this motor build to a screeching halt. There's no way in hell I can afford a new radiator after the motor build so I won't be wheeling in Clayton. I'm still up to tow someone though, check the Clayton thread.

I started my boatsiding today, it looks prety piomp.

[Reckless]

who in the hell would steal your radiator?

[CheapJeep]

The same guy who stole his bike...

[Reckless]

His bike had a 6.2 also????

[agjohn02]

check the scrap yard

[Doug Krebs]

who in the hell would steal your radiator?

Someone wanting to recycle it. If I have any metal laying in our driveway (which is all the time) I have people that stop by and ask me if they can have it at least once a month. I'm pretty sure they would just take it if I didn't live on such a busy street.

[Doug Krebs]

now that I think of it I know I used to have a 6.2 radiator. I'm not sure if I gave it to the guy that bought that craptastic blazer I had. If I knew it was at the property I'd just give it to you. I'm about 75% sure I gave it to the guy.

couldn't you substitute a different(cheaper) radiator to work? it will be cold outside in clayton

[Sharpe]

6.2 radiators are fawking huge (biggest one GM makes) and a smaller one would probably be fine in Clayton but the 6.2 ones have 1 3/4" hose necks and big and small blocks have 1 1/2".

[sasquatch]

hose clamps will take up the slack, and take the hood off if its still getting hot
