Gasser or Diesel?
Ok so heres the story my neighbor has over 35 vehicles in his yard any where from a couple international scouts up to all of his 1 ton 88-98 duallys. He blew the motor in one of his trucks (a truck that he told me he loved to death) and was wanting to swap his 6.5 from a 1994 3/4 ton into is 1993 crew cab. He told me that he had not had the time to do it last summer and schools just about to start up but i thought what the hell i have more time than him why not make him a deal.
I went over and asked him that my friend and I swapped the motors for him could I take the 3/4 ton and maybe another one of your diesel engines from his 1997 1 ton that he nailed a pole with as payment for me helping him out. He said that I could probably have the 3/4 ton as long has he kept plow from it.
Here is my question how hard would it be to swap the engine from the 94 3/4 ton into the 93 1 ton, we both agreed that the fuel pump or injection thing on the engine would have to be swap because of how GM changed that in the 1994 Diesels to electronic and the 1993 was mechanical.
I know that the engine and tranny (because he used it to plow) that we would be putting into the 3/4 ton would be shot but i see them on craigslist all the time, I really want the reg cab turbo diesel and was wondering how difficult it would be we both think it would be easier if we took the front clips off and take it out of the 1 ton first and then take the one from the 3/4 ton and drop it straight in and never take it off the hoist.
If any one has swapped a diesel engine please share you experience.
