Put one in my 93 k3500. I won't go back to a 6.5 again. Lots of power & no overheating. Check out www.TDR1.com They have a forum for conversions. I did my own. It was a good size project, but well worth it. You can buy most parts needed.

I kept the IFS. I lifted the body 1.25"
I did a 3" body lift on mine. seemed to solve a few other problems at the same time. Not a bad job if you have the tools a little knowledge.
And of course it costs more and takes longer than origionally planned. lol
