Re: 1966 C10 Diesel Conversion

I started a 6.2 conversion a few years ago and decided to scrap it. IMP the 6.2/6.5 were too hit and miss. Some people went 300K without an issue, some couldn't make it around the block.

My new project will eventually get swapped for a 4BT running biodiesel. I ran pump B99 in my 2000 F350 last year and loved it. The 4BT is a solid engine and the swap isn't too bad since you can find them with GM transmissions.

That is a hell of a nice truck for $800. I paid $1000 for mine and barely got it home.
