Hey guys new to the forum. Little background. When I was 16 I owned a 1992 GMC Sierra 1/2 ton regular shortbed z71 with a 350 and an auto transmission, 6" lift and 33" tires. I love that truck but at a whopping 6 miles to the gallon I sold her. Now fast forward 7 years later, cruising craigslist and what do I find? My old truck! So I make a phone call stop at the bank and I now own my old baby back. Which leads me to my question. Motor is shot, 160000 miles poor compression, I know most everyone is going to say dont do it but I've owned them before I like them, I want to swap in a 6.5 liter turbo diesel mechanical injection motor. So first off with the 4l60 bolt up? Second, will it handle the lower Rpm's and extra tourque of the motor? Anything else I need to think about?
