fasteddy is right on the mark. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" /> A diesel swap is straight forward, but it all comes at a cost. Will it be time or will it be money. They are both hard to come by. Any conversion be it a 4.3 FI or a 5.7 V8, you will need time and money lots of it. A diesel conversion is no different. I believe the most difficult task is finding the donor at the right cost. The questions you have are mostly answered in "Diesel conversion? " type that into the search option and don't forget to use the quotations. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/cheers.gif" alt="" />
