How does it handle vs. the stock set up? I dont know how much heavier the diesel is than a SBC...

Great work and, like everyone else, I want more vids!!!

Thanks J!! It handles well. It still has the V6 swaybars all around. 245 front tires/275 rear. Poly bushings in the front control arms, sways. Rear suspension has heim joint/poly. All UMI rear setup. Stock springs, decarbons.
The engine weighs much more than the 3.4L that came with it. Like 300 lb. But some weight reduction cured some of the weight issue.

Track times coming THIS Friday.
Dyno soon after. Engine build in progress. Try to get a vids of track run, just been Very busy.

Thank you sir! Yes the 6.5L suits me quite well. it's a great engine, and is trusted everyday by our troops overseas.
