I just rebuilt and turbo'ed a 6.2L to put in my 67 C-30. I can't wait to it in there!!

I agree,most that bad mouth the GM diesels,have not even had one.You can make one out perform a duramax,and not need to worry about a computer.I plan on putting a 6.5 in my 4x4 suburban.
But I have checked into putting a cummins in it.It will take more work.
