Re: is a 78 chevy with a diesel rare
Hope you don't mind a 60-66 guy popping in, but my neighbor has a '78 Silverado with the 5.7L. He bought it brand new and told me within the first three years he owned it, he probably had the engine apart 5 different times. He installed ARP head studs and used a different thickness head gasket and washer set-up (I think) to bolt them down and he said ever since then all he needs to carry on a trip is an extra injection pump. He still runs it to this day getting 23 mpg.
And yes, you can't pull much and it is gutless. But to each his own.
I say go for it and put in the 6.2L!
