Engine will bolt in. You will need a matching flywheel for the diesel. Exhaust is different, and won't match up. You need accessory mounts for the diesel. You need a second battery, heavy cables, and a glow control system.

You need a BIG radiator will oil cooler for the diesel.

What is your rear axle ratio? Typically, the diesel will SCREAM, and come up aginst the governor at highway speeds when replacing a gas engine with a diesel. (The governor in the IP will be set at various RPM's, based on the vehicle the engine came out of, with automatic tranny applications generally set lower.)

With a 4-speed, if you're not going to do heavy towing, you need 3.42 gears, and maybe even 3.08 gears to get crusing speed and economy.
