that engine before.
Transmission: Hydromatic 4L80-E, electronic transmission with overdrive.

G: Just got short email from friend. He's apparently keeping the M/H and plans
a trip up through SC, (Georgia?), and then back to Jax. He tried it on some of
North Floridas gentle grades and found that it would hold around 30 mph going
up. He'll try some steeper grades on his trip.

Most of the 6.5 turbos are 190hp. The 6.2 non turbo was 138 or so.

Yes. Not very fast though. If it's not turbocharged (
The question begs for more information. Not about the engine, but about the
