    6.2s really aren't bigger than most medium-duty NA diesels. Large displacement, yes, but they'll burble down the road at 1400 RPM all day long.

    absolutely right.
    I get about 650 miles out of a tank full of diesel. That's 26mpg, if i am not mistaken.

    I used a chevy bellhousing and made my transmission adapter. If there is interest , I will make a kit with adapters concentric spacer and hardware needed.
    I bought my engine from teds trucks and stuff ... great people and the engines are guaranteed to have between 10 and 40k miles

    soooooo jealous....

    15mpg to 26mpg is basically a 73% increase in fuel economy.

    Congrats on getting it up and running. Nice work.

    Wonder if I could get it smogged in California?
