Walter, IF, and I repeat IF, you do not intend to tow a lot with this truck, a simple DIESEL engine replacement is the 3.9L Cummins. Bell-housing adapter plates and flywheels are available to match GM trannys ( I have one). Premade motor-mounts are availbable for a 96 chevy. If auto, your TPS will work. No frame cross-members need moved, tranny stays the same. Google Tennessee Diesel Conversions and there is a guy who specializes in putting 4BTs in other stuff. Mounts, and other hardware. Pleaty of these 4BTs available. With 4:10 gears, you may need a larger tire or lower gear set. And with Cummins B-Rated performance. A 125-130 HP 4BT will deliver more useable power than the 6.5L. Near Bullet-proof. A mere turn of the star wheel or Gov RPM kit will bring more UMPHF. Since the engine is shorter than the 5.9L, the hood will close without a body lift kit. You have not really describe the trucks condition, rust, etc, but if you cannot make something out of the 6.5, the 4BT is a bolt in fix. Be advise you will know it is a Cummins, as the noise is louder than the 6.5. I put one in my old 68 Bronco, and it will spank the 302 gasser, and my mileage is like it has a 6 cyl gasser. I am currently pulling my GM (T400/465)tranny to install a Ford ZF five speed. you have options.

Despite having to disassemble the majority of my John Deere 2010's diesel engine, I was still hopeful I could leave the engine-complete with crankshaft and camshaft-in the tractor. This would make the whole engine rebuild job much easier-and much less expensive! I soon found however, that the #4 conrod bearing had disintegrated, taking with it chunks of the crankshaft journal.
