thanks for the tip.... But I do not want the weight of a large V8, plus I have owned a 6.2 and although the parts are available, I'd prob have to buy a bunch of them, my last 6.2 was unreliable, and reliability is why I want to go diesel. The 6.2 was not designed from the ground up as a diesel...I would like a commercial or marine duty engine, in which parts are easily obtained world-wide, in case I take the thing to AU or Alaska...etc.
So everyone pls keep an eye out for any kits or ready made components to assist in the conversion, I would prefer to use a Yanmar, Kubota, Perkins, etc. prob 4 cyl. w/turbo
many thanks for your info though
