Thanks for rhe add, my friend. I’m soon to take possession of a 1986 custom deluxe k20 with 44k on the clock from the original owner. I’m sure I’ll need plenty of support from you guys with all the experience. It currently has the sbc 350 with an auto tranny. Does anyone have experience with swapping in a diesel and what tranny and transfer case would you recommend? Thanks in advance.

Welcome from Poland!

Why u wanna go with a diesel? With such a low milage I'd stick to the original motor. I had a truck that was converted from diesel to gas and it was the worst truck I've ever had... Everything was wrong with it. It might be easier with an older vehicle but in my opinion if you want a diesel, sell this one and look for a diesel.
