I have a lot of crazy ideas go through my head. This one seems like a fun one to ponder over.
New technology has left the 6.5 in the dust, but what if some of that technology is slowly integrated in to her through almost a complete rework?
Step 1. Start from the bottom and work your way up is what I always say; so crankshaft and new firing order. The more power lose negated is always better. Compensation for balance and oil pathing are factors.
Step 2. Updating parts/design. Direct injection has it's ups and downs but is a power upgrade none the less. A high pressure commen rail design like on the duramax should work good with a lot of fine tuning.
Changing out the 2 overhead valve design for a modern 4 overhead valve design should work wonders with direct injection.
Step 3. Fine tuning. Just like all engines tweaking miner components is critical for max potential of a design. Could be coolent flow, oil pressure, pcm tuning
Step 4. Time and money. And this is why it's a pipe dream.
