Engine swap idea's

[Ryan Rønning]

I have an '84 K20 that has the 6.2 L in it that I am trying to decide whether to convert it to a 6.5L turbo or do 12 valve Cummins swap. Either way it will have an NV4500 Trans and a divorced NP205 T-case. This truck won’t be towing much and I don’t plan on getting in to sled pulls with it, I just want something different to drive. I will likely put a lift and 38 to 40 inch tires on it. The end goal is for a show truck with an edge.

Your advice, opinions, and suggestions are wanted.

I'm going with Cummins. If you want to play with it it would be cheaper and easier than the others to hop up a little, since you are going to lift it. Go with Cummins

I would Say 12V or a tricked out 454.easier.

Drop a 12 valve in it that would be sweet

12v... I know its been done over and over, but there's a reason for it. It'd be a cheap way to go and proven ways to make power.

i'd say d-max because its a chevy, but i don't know how much it would cost
