I'm going this direction with a diesel swap because first off its a direct bolt up to the turbo 400 and the small block towers. Second parts are fairly cheap for the engine, versus doing a crazy duramax swap or cummins swap. And this engine was a complete runner when I got it. Not doing any mods to the turbo. Just helping the engine breathe a little better and tossing some marine injectors in it and bolting on an intercooler. Once its up and running I'll probably play around with water/meth injection and or propane injection. This is going to be a work truck. Not racing it, or doing more than pulling a single car trailer behind it. The only thing my fuel is going to cost me is time, and not much of it either. I'll still get to write off my mileage for my business, just wont have to pay for fuel. The only reason for the 5 speed swap would be because I drive mostly highway up here in norcal, and the truck has 3.55's. I really just want to be able to drive it 85mph on the highway, without spinning the motor to the moon.
