Complete drop-in engine replacement for 403 or 455, not a short block. Custom $9500 build, girdled, roller cam (no ZDDP issues), all performance components, ported Edelbrock intake, headers, Paterson distributor and wires, includes Manny's custom A/C bracket to accommodate taller roller rocker valve covers. A real torque monster. Mounted on an engine stand and pallet, wrapped and ready to ship on short notice. Possible delivery depending on where and when. Asking $3900 locally.

Still for sale, had to reply to keep it on the front page of the swap meet. OBTW the view counter is about 3X actual, not sure why. It doubled after my last reply...

Just dropped a Manny 6.5 TD in the GMC, so somebody make me an offer for this nice engine before it ends up in a Trans Am as an L-80. THIS ENGINE COMES WITH A WARRANTY!

How do you like the 6.5? What speed can you cruise at comfortably?

Hi John - I'll start a thread on the board in the next week or two, but the short answer is the 6.5 TD seems like it belongs in the GMC, cruised 75-80 mph on I 80 coming back from SanJose, 12.46 mpg including crossing the Sierras and the mountains in S Idaho. I am real happy with the swap. The 403 with a 3.70 would have put a grin on my face as well.

Jeff,
Did Jim Bounds install your Manny Diesel? Is this your coach that Jim was showing off of the Florida Rally?

Hi Russell - just posted to the diesel thread - no that is not my coach. Manny did the install at his shop in San Jose, I "helped"...Rather wish I was in Florida at the moment.
