just bouncing around ideas, but considering swapping a 6.5 to replace my tired old 350, i know most people would say stick with the 350, ive done alot of research and wouldn't mind a 6.5, i actually really like there simplicity and mpg. (not looking for a 400hp diesel). i would like to swap in the 6.5 and convert it to mechanical injection with a db2 4911 pump. and pair it up with my nv4500 5 speed with a new clutch. would it matter what year of donor truck i get, 90-93 or 94-00?? i know i would have to change the lines out for the 94-00 truck since they were electronic injection with a pmd. and used a 16mm line rather then the 14mm line the mech. injection 6.5 used, my main question is How would i get all my 1995 gauges to work and my hvac to work, becasue i will be removing the ecm and a large amount of the 95 wiring, since i would be going mechanical injection. i have an opportunity to buy a 94 6.5 donor truck with 140k for $2000 OBO. like i said i mainly need help with the wiring aspect to the swap. was thinking about running the glow plugs to a manual switch in the cab.
