Re: diesel swap

The problem you are going to run into in a half ton truck is weight. A diesel six cylinder, even a small one, is much heavier than a v-8 which in it self is heavier than a 250 inline. Also frame twist is going to be a problem because the torque in a diesel is higher. so if you can address those issues then your golden. A 4 cylinder cummins would be an easer swap in my opinion.
