I blame this article for leading down this path to begin with:

GM 6.2 build up

It's a great read and has helped me to avoid what NOT to get. Also, there is a lot of great info on dieselplace.com along with the awesome info board member Russell has been giving me.

I'm new to the diesel concept, but a friend and I are building a bio-diesel still at his house. He bought an '01 Dodge Ram 3500, I decided to stick with what I know and got the '71

I may end up just getting a runner in there for now and building a monster motor or saving for a Duramax/Allison combo as an upgrade later. Being on a tight budget sucks, but it's worth it.
