You can swap in a cummins, a brand F IDI, and the 6.2.

They just need to be vehicle certified, and not generator or industrial engines. I don't believe there was a CA version of diesels at that time since buyers were into gas engines.

I am not Mr. Diesel here, but my research says it is not much more difficult to get a Cummins 6BT into the truck smog legal then the 6.2. Plus you'll have a engine that will increase your value of the truck. Plus in reality it is not much more expensive the a 6.2 swap.
