Build a 6.2 diesel or twin turbo first gen LT1
Hey everybody — how’s your week going so far? Just wanted to check in and catch up. We’ve had about 20 new members join in the last couple weeks, so welcome to all of you. Glad you’re here. Now for the big update… The old 6.2 diesel isn’t hurt, but it’s definitely not performing like it used to. I think it’s time to either freshen it up or change things up completely. Here’s my dilemma. I’ve always loved the 6.2. It’s reliable, simple, and cool in its own way… but let’s be honest — it’s pretty lackluster in the power department. Option 1: Pull the 6.2, tear it down, rebuild it. • Roller rockers (maybe 1.6s) • Some head work • Cummins turbo setup • Upgraded injection pump • Fluid damper By the time I’m done, I’m probably $5,000–$6,000 into it on the low end. Option 2: I already have a twin turbo kit sitting at the house for a small block 350. It needs a little work, but it’s there. I keep coming back to the idea of doing a budget twin turbo LT1 build — like a ’95 Camaro or Corvette engine. There are quite a few around here. They’re already fuel injected. I could probably build the engine itself for around $3,000–$4,000 since I’d keep it mild — maybe 5 lbs of boost, stock bottom end, aiming for around 400 horsepower. People do it all the time. But… the standalone ECU and harness setup is about $2,700. So now I’m right back in the $6,000–$7,000 range. So what do you guys think? Do I: • Refresh and upgrade the 6.2 and keep it diesel? OR • Go twin turbo small block / LT1 and make way more power? I think the twin turbo setup would be way cooler and obviously way stronger… but there’s something about keeping the diesel too. I’m still going to make my own decision, but I’d honestly like to hear your opinions. What would you do?

Squarebody off-roading!!!
If you guys are into snow wheeling videos I just released a new one on YouTube today. Me and a couple of my friends before the big storm hit. Have one a month coming out for the Foreseeable future. Squarebody Chevys Took Over The Snow! https://youtu.be/Ke-9CgRkZS4

Hell yeah badass 🤘🏽 living in Southwest Colorado you think we would have good snow wheeling but we haven't had much snow this year and on top of that all the public roads to the high country are closed during the winter months so that blows but good news a storm hit last night so probably do some snow wheeling this weekend 🤘🏽
Is this Group Actually Helpfull?
DO any of you guys actually enjoy and use this group. I'm thinking about canceling it due to the lack of use. This group cost me $100 a month to keep it open and it just doesn't seem like anyone uses it.

I like the group but don't really use it like I should be not used to it yet is a clip of me willing my 87 Blazer this past weekend as you can see in one clip I could not make that climb because of my bumper and receiver so now I got to take them off and relocate my gas tank or modifications 🤘🏽
Alright everyone — let’s do a quick community check-in.
I want to hear what you’re all working on right now. Big projects, small projects, parts on order, ideas still on paper — it all counts. How’s your build coming along? What did you finish recently? What’s the next thing you’re tackling? Drop an update in the comments and post some pictures if you’ve got them. This community gets better the more we share, help each other, and stay involved. Also, if you’ve got friends who own Squarebodies and would fit in here, invite them in. We’re building this the right way — as a family, not just another group. We’ve got another giveaway planned once we hit 500 members, and the more good people we bring in, the better this place becomes for everyone. Really appreciate all of you being here and helping shape this community. Let’s keep it positive, helpful, and focused on building badass Squarebodies together.
Alright everyone — let’s do a quick community check-in.

After a few long months. The ole girl is back on the road. 57” Springs up front. And the 91 suburban Front clip. I love how it turned out. First snow run of the season for us is tomorrow. Can’t wait.
