Any source for the valve?
Yes! Glad you made a thread for this perfect piece of machinary! I really wanted to put a 6.5 td in my burb but needed it and was faster to replace the 350. I wanna know how that 6.5 sounds with the straight piped 3.5"
Oh and btw the shot of your driveway is a nice site
The crew cab has 3" straight the burb we decided to do 3.5 as we had a bunch of it. and the banks exhaust had been pilfered for other projects.
The 3" sounds pretty mean kinda like a nice healthy big block through glass packs ,Oldschoolish
The 3.5" sounds a little nastier ,hard to describe but it sounds mean almost 5.0 ford through flowmasters.
Both trucks have a slight turbo whistle
I have been looking all over for an aa/c hose for a diesel sub with rear air...I've had no luck at all. I know there out there some damn where, there's one on your rig!
I bought the standard hose and am going to try to integrate the two. I took the rear air out of the 86, I'm going to cut the ferrules, remove the fitting, install the fittings from the 86 and have them crimped...sounds good in theory...

I can take more pics tomorrow
Sorry took me so long patty hasnt let this thing cool off since I brought it home. Its kinda dirty right now
Thank you 
This confirms my plan...I'm going to cut the ferrule & remove the "tee" fitting from my old junker and install it on the new hose I got for my diesel...along with the rear unit from the junker...
I'll hit the yard & see if I can find an old diesel a/c hose
Of course I'll do a thread when it happens...I'm not doing another summer in the south without a/c

Love the 'Burb!
Very cool.
Just wondering...
Where is the turbo? Is that the one that sits in the valley? I am swapping a '93 6.5 into my '73 Suburban and I was planning on getting rid of the AC since ithe turbo would be in the way. I see yours is all there, that would be nice.
What radiator/shroud/bracket are you using? Is it just the 6.2 stuff? I'm trying to figure out if my '93 radiator can be re-used. I need a new core support since mine is cracked and rusted. I don't want a cobbled together pile of junk.

He is using the banks kit which puts the turbo far forward on the motor, the 6.5 turbo is further back towards the firewall hence the stock AC on it.
Another solution for this is to get a vintage air AC system its all under the dash, plenty of room for the turbo on a 6.5 and a way way better hvac system

Thanks, I haven't seen a Banks kit in person. That AC doesn't even look like the typical 80's underhood AC I've seen in junkyards. My '73 never had ac, just contemplating it.
Not to muck up the thread but do you want one. I got a banks equipped 6.2 sitting in the garage

No thanks, I have the engine I want 
Just need to figure out all the other things to make the swap work.

But no rear heat? You would think that would have been a popular option up there.

Hmmmm!!!!
Took it out, Amp enclosure/storage box in its place now.
Truck warms up quickly even at -30 below, Once I get the exhaust brake installed it will make warm ups even faster
