The propane and nitrous section on dieselplace dot com has a lot of info on this for 6.5T engines.
You can also use water methanol injection to increase power and fuel economy, but in the high compression IDI 6.5T you need to keep the methanol very watered down.
A chevy diesel with a mechanical fuel injection system (DB2 serries) has the potential to be a alternative fuels power house.
You can slightly modify the fuel system with a better fuel pump and cheaper easier to replace fuel filters so you can burn waste oil by cutting them in with your fuel.
You could add a propane or natural gas fumigation system.
Or run water methanol injection.
I tried propane back in 2006-2007 and don't care for it.
I am gearing up to do a water methanol injection build.
