Are 6.5 and 6.2L flywheels the same?

[Russell]

Though I sold my 6.2L K5, I actually really liked the engine in that truck, it certainly wasn't a dragster, but it got great mileage, and had a sweet exhaust note to it...

I thought I had a line on a 6.0L to drop in, but it looks like that has fallen through, so I'm keeping my eyes open for a 6.2L to drop infront of the NV4500 / NP241 for the moment.

Since I'm going with the standard, which is currently behind a really messed up 6.5L, could I get the flywheel and clutch stuff from the 6.5L, along with the turbo stuff to bolt up to a 6.2L, should I find one?

Yes. Why not find another 6.5?

They are big bucks around here, while 6.2Ls can be found pretty cheaply. I need to keep it reasonably cheap, becuase this will only be a temporary engine, until I find a 6.0L to swap in. I do plan to hang onto the diesel so I can drop it back into either the truck, or a fullsize car should gas prices get too insane...

depends on the year of 6.2. somewhere around 88 or maybe a couple years newer, they went with a 1piece rear main, making the flywheel bolt circle different. but all the 6.5's had the 1piece. as long as its not a dual mass flywheel its worth getting.
