1971 K10 6.2 Diesel Swap

[vdb11]

Hey all I haven't posted here in a while but I am getting back into researching. If you remember before I was considering a 472 caddy.

Now I am set on a 6.2 diesel. I know the engines well, and I already have a military 6.2 that just needs rebuilt.

The plan is to do this swap on a budget but I need some help! The plan is:

Stock NA 6.2
Keep the T350 (seems to shift fine, save $ for now)
I believe it has 3.73 gears, I am going to keep those.

Ok so here are my main concerns/questions. I have been doing a lot of reading and haven't found solid answers just yet.

1) (The big one!) WILL the 6.2 bolt fit with stock mounts? I have read BBC mounts can be used BUT my truck is 4wd, and IIRC, the engine is back 2 inches compared to a 2wd. I thought I read somewhere that some modification was required so the heads didn't hit the firewall. CAN ANYONE VERIFY/CLARIFY THIS?

2) Do I need a hydroboost? I have the vac setup now. If I do, where can I source one from? What is involved in the swap?

3) Anyone that has stuffed a 6.2/6.5 radiator in one of these trucks, how did you do it?

4) The T350 should work fine, but I read a diesel converter will be needed (from a t400?).

Any other tips? Does the exhaust clear the frame? Any helpful advice from anyone that has done this swap in a 4x4 would be greatly appreciated!
