I've just purchased a 1982 Chevy 1 ton dually, and I"m wondering how much trouble, if possible, to change out the 350 gas engine to a 6.2 (or any, for that matter), diesel. Any comments or suggestions would be appreciated! Thanks!
You could build a blown, injected big block gasser for a lot less than you'd pay for a Duramax/Allison combination. One advantage is that you still get to register as an '82 vehicle, and have '82 emissions (if necessary), no matter what's under the hood. After I win the lottery, I'm building a 2007 3500 Duramax. No emissions garbage and I can build the undercarriage as heavy as I want. Still registered as an '07. :-)
