Hey everyone , I have a 1983 c1500 with a 6.2 not running and I want to put a running 1992 6.5 turbo into it . What can I expect in the way of issues with this install . The 83 is all original as is the 92 , I just pulled the 6.5 and I am pulling it apart for inspection . Thanks in advance for any replys.

Is your truck air conditioned?

That's the first problem. Then there's exhaust.

The A/C is a significant issue. The exhaust you can figure out.

Most of the rest of it is one for one.

Well, there's the air intake,....
