TBI 350/700R4 or 6.2 diesel Swap?

Just wondering who here has converted to TBI. I origionally planned to use TPI but since I have everything for TBI thought I would just swap it in. I am using an 87 Suburban as my parts donor for the front suspension, figured why not just swap the TBI 350 and 700R4 as well, I already have a TBI Blazer tank to go under the bed. I figure that since it moved the big burb around pretty well it would do good in a shortbed pickup too. I am really just looking for a good reliable cruisers that I would have no problems hoping in and taking a 2-3 hour drive. I think this would fit the bill well.

On the other hand I also have a 87 pickup that has the 6.2 diesel I would consider swapping. It has been a VERY reliable truck over the years and the engine/trans are in top shape, but the body is beat to hell and I really don't need the truck anymore as I have others to use. I would really consider swapping the diesel in as well.

So has anyone else done these swaps? Any pics or tips you would like to share? Which would you do and why?
