Production figures and stats for the 6.2

[aloharovers]

I know that the board title says 1982-93 but I am wondering how long after 93 gthe 6.2 was still put into vehicles.
Any ideas on numbers?

A friend in California is interested in doing a diesel swap in their Rover but must deal with the engine cant be older then the vehicle BS. They have a 94.

Thanks

93 would be pushing it.

What's the casting on the 6.2?

If it's a '599 6.2 then you could just tell them it's a 6.5, because at least the casting number would elude to that time frame.

Maybe a bread/box van chassis could have had a 6.2 in it. But they only made the 6.2 up till 93.

They will not be able to tell what year the engine is unless you tell them. They all look the same. I doubt they have block casting numbers on hand and I also doubt they will be able to read it when the engine is installed in the vehicle.

Also I'm interested in doing a diesel conversion in California, where did you find this information? Also how hard is it to get a vehicle registered as diesel that was once gas?

CA is a piece of cake, going from a gasser to Diesel. Just do it, and visit the DMV with the vehicle. Apply for a modified title, and say goodbye to smog checks. In CA, the year of the engine doesn't matter for non-smog's.

I'm sure other states are different, but your DMV will have an answer for you. Some states can be anal about it, but for some reason (???), CA doesn't care.

I guess I should have mentioned it wasn

My statement wasn't year model specific. You can upgrade that '85 with no problems. You will have to get a modified title, or you won't get it registered every 2 years when it comes time for a smog check. The smog check stations are required to check the vin/emmissions requirements specific to that vehicle. Once you install a Diesel engine, and mod the title, your registration renewal won't have any smog requirements attached.
