6.2 engine hard parts

[k20]

Hey guys, I was wondering where y'all get your hard parts at? By hard parts I mean pistons, rods, cam, crank, etc, and then where you get your bearings, rings, etc. I got a spare 6.2 sitting in the garage and of course my mind is thinking about how I could build it up a bit. Turbo is way outta my pricerange, but I was wondering how I could draw some NA power out of this other motor. Do these things respond to higher compression (or is lower better) and does anyone sell a different cam for it, or does a cam on a diesel even really make a big difference? I can rebuild sbc's and bbc's all day long and make big power, these diesels are just something I dont know about yet.

Any good writeups on the net for building a 6.2 making ~200hp in NA form? Hell, any writeups about building any 6.2?

It would be cheaper to put a budget turbo on it I would say...

yeh Im just thinking about well, who knows how many miles are on my spare 6.2, so might as well freshen it up and while Im at it I might as well.....this is how my 496 evolved from a stock 454 rebuild to a 600hp 496 in a daily driver......yes I know Im pathetic.

There's a BUNCH of stuff over on www.62-65-dieselpage.com . One of the guys on there built up about the most extreme NA 6.2L possible a while back and it's all documented there. I think you might need to get a membership to read it all.
