ummm, NO.
sbc is about 600 pounds with exhaust and iron intake, wet. Drop that to
trans is about 170 pounds with TC.
aluminum headed 5.3 is about 100 pounds lighter.
6.5 weight appears to be 750 complete.
Keep in mind the 4l60e won't hold up to the 6.5 - it requires the 4l80e which is another 100 pounds heaiver yet.
So, 6.5 with 4l80e is only about 1000 pounds. but don't forget to upgrade the rear differential and driveline and radiator and fan. all require bigger ones for the diesel.
