If you are not very mechanically inclined then it may be too big of a project for you to tackle on your own. That said, a 6.2 or 6.5 GM diesel uses the same bellhousing bolt pattern, so you could keep your current transmission. If you found a complete donor vehicle with a 6.2 non-turbo setup, you could migrate all the parts over to make the Camino a diesel. But this is a lot of work, so make sure you are up to it before you get started. You might be better off selling the Camino and using the funds to get an older 6.2 pick up to work on, that way all the heavy work is done already.
