Hello, I've had my eye on a truck for a while and I finally got around to asking about it and the guy said he'll give me a pretty good deal on it. It's a 95 GMC crew cab 4x4 dually with a 6.5 and an NV4500 behind it. I've never been a diesel guy and I don't plan to be, and I haven't heard great things about the 6.5s. I've LS swapped a GMT400 before, so I have a good idea of what I'm doing and what I'll need, but I'm unfamiliar with the differences in the diesels. My other concern is the trans, since the 6.5 shares the same bell housing pattern as the small blocks, and they share the same pattern as the LS, I don't see why I'd need any adapter plates but please correct me if I'm wrong as I'm unfamiliar with manual transmissions. So far this is the list of things I know I need:
Engine
Wiring harness
Motor mounts
Fuel lines
Fuel filter
Gas sending unit and pump
Exhaust system
Flexplate
Gauge cluster
What else will I need for the diesel to gas conversion? Will the hydroboost system need any modifications or will that work fine with the LS power steering system? Any advice would be appreciated. Thank you
