I'll tell you what I'd do if it were my truck. I am a fan of the 6.2 / 6.5 GM diesel and given that it bolts to your chassis using small block Chevy kit mounts, it would be a far sight easier to install. I'd use the 6.5 turbodiesel and 4L80E out of a 1 ton GMC/Chevy pickup, freshen up the top end and install the small non turbo precups, call Heath Diesel and get a chip and remote PMD kit, put it all in with the tall gears and a quiet exhaust and enjoy mid 20s-30 mpg. Run the thing on waste anything.
