Well, after a couple of days of study and research (in spare time - not complete days) -- i am completely overwhelmed with 4bt information for my idea and my brain is fried. At least i have a really good idea of what it is gonna take to do this now.

Now comes the hard part --- waiting around for a big storm to come along so i can get deployed with my job. A project like this isn't worth it to just drive 20 miles a day around my hometown, and i am hesitant at this juncture to sell my late model to dive into an empty pool. There is a company in Pennsylvania that advertises engines on e-gay that advertises that they will do the swap for a grand -- torque converter has to be changed to the diesel type for it to work, among other things -- At least i know now what i will be getting into-- still no luck finding a factory diesel model with less than a couple hundred thou on it. Anything with that kind of mileage more often than not needs a full restoration.
