We are coming close to moving forward with re-powering our 2002 2859. It currently has a 5.7mpi which is blown (long story involving unscrupulous sellers and sleazy brokers but I’ll save that discussion for another day !)
After lots of reading I am pretty certain that I want to go with a 6.2 factory brand new motor. A couple of questions.....
1. Does anyone know if I need to go with a full engine package or can I purchase a long block and transfer all the stuff from my old 5.7 mpi over to the new one ? Not 100% certain I want to do this but if it not an option then that decision becomes really easy.
2. Has anyone here done the 6.2 or 383 upgrade from a 5.7mpi on a 2859 and if so can you describe the performance improvements. Cruising speed and rpm, time to plane and any noticeable fuel consumption differences.
3. Also are there any drawbacks that anyone is aware of? I cannot see any but it never hurts to ask.
