Hey Firefighter!

Yeah, my truck originally came with a 305. The 6.2L will bolt right in, but you'll need all of the other engine accessories, like alternator, ps pump, a/c compressor, radiator, and things like that. If at all possible, try and snag a complete donor truck, where the body may be shot, but the 6.2L and all it's associated parts are good. This will simplify things greatly.

Also, check out www.thedieselpage.com They are completely devoted to GM diesels. There is a small membership fee, but if you're serious about going to 6.2L, it'll be the best money you'll spend.
