I know this should be in the want ads but it may get more notice here. My mate is looking for a pair to replace rotten originals. Thanks. PC

Hi, are the manifolds for the diesel or the petrol ? presume diesel with the mention of the 6.5 ? If so, maybe relevant is if it's for the NA or Turbocharged version perhaps.
If she is for the petrol GM 6.2 like the mercruiser 6.2 stroker or mpi for example, the manifolds and risers are very easily obtained. They are the same items as the hugely more numerous 5.7 (350) and 5.0 engines. Later models would likely be the "safe" dry joint manifolds. Keypart and the likes do decent enough aftermarket versions from the likes of Sierra. Repower may also do likewise, can't quite remember. Marine engines uk too.
Should she be the diesel, I am just not sure at all, but certainly, I would imagine there might be a difference between the NA and turbo for part suitability perhaps.

Thanks both. It's the diesel by the way.

I had a 6.2 V8 diesel in one of my trucks, nice engine but demanded a lot of cooling, it was vastly more economical to run than the 4.2l V8 petrol engine that was in it before, 3mpg compared with 24mpg for the 6.2

That's some difference!
