Can be done. Unless, you have a 350 with a rod hanging out and a 6.2 burning a hole in your pocket I would suggest looking for a 6.5L. Cummins are nice but $$$ and not a direct bolt in as a 6.2 and 6.5 would be. The 6.2 got a bad reputation long ago...some deserved but some not....

The later 6.5L diesels were not too bad until you get into the electronic injection pump era. If your lucky enought to find a AM General built 6.5L you are even much better off, although those are very rare (GM sold off production rights, tooling, etc to AM General in January 2001).

A couple years ago I yanked a 6.2L out of a late 80’s Suburban and dropped in a brand new AM General 6.5L with a Banks side turbo and late model accessories for a buddy that lives back in Michigan. We thought about using a center mount turbo but the exhaust pipe would not fit between the firewall and engine. Later on in the project, my buddy sent me out some fancy custom tuned injection pump to put on it….and I have to tell you, this Suburban honked pretty good amazingly enough. Between the ball bearing turbo, marine prepped 6.5L and the custom injection pump it pulled like an early Dirtymax. He flew out here to CO and drove it back to Detroit without a single problem and got decent fuel mileage headed home as well.

I was suprised I even got it running without his help being I don't know jack about diesels as I have never had a chance to mess with them. I’d take a 6.5L like this if someone would give it to me. I am a big block guy and I was impressed by the way it ran.
