New AM General - GEP Optimizer ™ 6.5L Diesel Engine - Non Turbo Naturally Aspirated Engine
This
is the latest version of the 6.5L engine still produced new today.
These are build-to-order engines in that your engine is run down the
assembly line after order. Unfortunately, they are not built ahead of
time and stored. Standard lead time to delivery is approximately
6-8weeks, sometimes less depending on assembly plant's load.
This engine has a lot of versatility in that it's a direct replacement for the many Non Turbo 6.5L applications used from 1994 - 2002 in C/K Trucks, Vans (G and P series), and some other applications. This engine was also used up to around 2010 is some P Series Delivery Vans. The replacement engine is also suitable for all 6.2L Diesel applications as an upgrade from the 1982-1993 135-155HP 6.2L engines to an updated engine that is capable of producing 170HP nearly smoke-free without a turbocharger with appropriate matching fuel injection components. This is the NS version of this engine which stands for Non-Spray in that the engines not have piston oil spray cooling which is perfect for non-turbo use while retaining great hot oil pressure for engines that see extended idle times.

purchase
necessary for replacing your existing engine (will need to know
year/make/model). This is only available to customers who purchase a
Long block here. Approximately $95 shipped.
Warranty

new long blocks carry no warranty. The manufacturer provides no

term of the manufacturer. We are being up-front about the limitation
which is more than can be said for other potential sources.

Engine Preparation Options
If
unit is being shipped via Air Freight the engine must be free of oil,
new engines come with break-in oil in the pan, so engine must be
un-crated and drained of oil and a new filter installed (that is dry).
This requires being sent to Unique Diesel for processing making it not
possible to drop-ship from factory, this is part of the cost associated
with this option.
Addition of timing tab
for mechanical engines. The factory cannot modify this assembly as it's
intended for electronic engines. We can optionally add the mechanical
timing tab to the front of the engine's timing cover with special
tooling and have it match TDC for timing with timing lights, We do this
and add the plug in the timing cover to delete the crank sensor opening.
This makes the engine have to come to us instead of being able to
drop-ship. This is part of the expenses figured into the cost of the
option.
