I have a 1988 K1500 4X4 5.7L (350) 4 speed manual with 3:42 gears. The engine is original with 260,000 + miles and is getting tired. I've thought about just rebuilding, but a friend has a 6.2 diesel (low mileage) that I got cheap with the intention of putting it in my truck. Brought it home on a trailer, but now having doubts. Would this be an easy swap? Looks like the mounts and everything will swap over. What about the wiring? My truck has the ECM computer stuff, I don't think I need that on the diesel, would I need to change the complete harness? What about the exhaust, fuel lines, etc...

If not a feasable swap anyone want a 6.2 for about $600.00
My 350 is not in real bad shape, but the thought of a diesel in my 4X4 was sounding pretty good.

Thanks
