Project 67 GMC custom 6.5 turbo diesel

[mal68ibu]

So I never thought I'd be doing this but my 350 is going away and I'm dropping in a 1993 6.5 chevy diesel. This started out with me being pissed off about 10mpg and increasing gas costs. Oh ya and I have a friend that does builds custom veggie oil kits for diesels. This started with me buying a 6.2 to rebuild and twin turbo, but somone dropped a running 6.5 in my lap so I couldnt pass. The truck is an original paint 67 gmc custom 3/4 ton. Its about 95% rust free and pretty straight if you don't look at the tailgate. So if somone needs a complete motor (air cleaner to pan, 7 blade fan to flywheel) with exhaust system, its going to be up for sale. I have the engine currently torn down and have it degreased and new main bearings installed. Was getting ready to install the pistons when I noticed one was cracked.........so I have a set of brand new pistons on the way. Next up is pocket porting the heads. Here are a few pics.
