Can I switch my 350 Chevy engine to a 6.2 diesel?

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...

When I was considering a Diesel sway for my V10 I was considering the IH 6.9 IDI. Should bolt in the frame rails of the F350 superduty with minimal effort.

Very cheap to work on.


I can see the cheap to work on and put fuel in, but going from a V10 to an older IDI non-turbo diesel would be a miserable experience to drive. You're almost cutting your hp in half!
