Re: 1987 6.2 diesel swap in gas 350,454

Motormounts and bellhousing for the 6.2 are the same as other Chevy engines. Very swappable. Fuel lines on an 87 cab and chassis with a diesel are very close if not exactly like a carbed truck from 86 or earlier. Same with the fuel tanks but you may want to do more than flush them. They are cheap to just replace (about 100 bucks a piece) so you may just want to do that to prevent problems down the road. If you want to just use them, make sure you install a fuel filter that's easy to get to in case you end up with some crud dropping off the inside of the tank when it gets gas in it.

I can understand wanting more power than the 6.2 has for a big truck, but you're gonna hate the mileage...
