Re: Putting a diesel in my 69 GMC? What engine to use?
If money's short toss in a 350 and trans of your choice. Going diesel is never cheap. I run a 12 Valve Cummins in my burb and even with a donor truck the cost was much more than a traditional small block.
Get the old gal running and driving with a gasser and when you have more cash start planning a diesel swap and buying parts. A truck on the road is much more fun than one in the garage.
-And rolling coal is just wasting fuel and abusing your hard earned parts. I have a small haze under full throttle and can pull my trailer at 80 plus without thinking about it at part throttle. And that's with 35s and a lift.
