6.5 in an excursion

What do you guys think? I have a nice 6.5 turbo engine laying around and figure I should put it in the EX

I think it'd be great, if that's what you want.

it should be fun maybe a 700r4 behind it some 4.30 gears the ats set up i have run it to 20 lbs of boost numerous times in the old mud truck fly cut the pistons to lower compression to 18:1 to keep the heads on. studs all the way around the crank is a forged aftermarket unit and has stayed in so far. both of which old timers say cant be done. so what would a guy have to lose??

back on track though i mean the 6.5 is a great motor almost as much power as a 7.3 and just as reliable when set up properly. maybe i need to find another EX and see how it goes because i like the v10 i have now
