got a 6.2l diesel question...

Hey guys,

Got a couple questions. I've come across a low mile 6.2l (85k miles). Im thinking about putting it in a 86 1500 pu.

While the motor is out, I was looking for some suggestions.... I dont want to do any big mods, such as a turbo, cause Id like to get the truck on the road asap. But Im considering a crattle, since the 6.2 is known for lower end problems, and ofcourse a new harmonic balancer..... Maybe later I can add a turbo without pulling the motor again.... any more ideas??

Also, this truck had a 6cyl in it... So the springs have to go, If I grab diesel springs, Will everything bolt up? do I need to do anything else?? For brakes, I believe im going to go with a vacuum cansister.

This 1500 wont be used for much other than daily driving. I wont be loading it up much, I have another truck for that. Im hoping that I can get some good mileage with it though.
