2 Questions about the 6.5

[buffy]

1. Did Chevy offer the 6.5 in the 92-93 Chevy K-Blazer?
2. In your opinion, assuming the drivetrain can handle it, what's the most 'reliable' horsepower and torque you can squeeze out of the 6.5.

yes they did ofer a 6.5 in a blazer they are hard to find thought . the drivetrain can handle it easy, you can get 250-260 hp out of these, but penninsular engines offers a 300 hp version that is very reliable. torque numbers are not advertized much but i would say you can get 450-470 lbs.

1991 was the last year for the 6.2 liter powered Blazer and Suburban
1994 was the first year that you could get the 6.5 turbo in the new body style 2dr Blazer, Jimmy and Suburban and it came with the electronic IP.
1992 and 1993 the turbo 6.5 was only available in the trucks and came with the mechanical IP.

Yep, the first year the 6.5L was offered in the K1500 Blazer was 1994, then it became a Tahoe 2 dr. in 1995.
