Don't use the 5068 IP, the ECM is not compatible. You need a 5521 IP. The 5068 was on the early 94 model and has a special ECM.

...a "conversion" block...it was and is built from ground up as a diesel...bored out,no problem... 6.2 or 6.5 pistons? 6.2=higher compression ratio...decked block and shaved heads...have you or they recomputed compression ratios??? compression drops to install turbo...if you stay with a much higher comp.ratio then they should install head studs to hold it togather...with higher comp. ratio you gonna go with a bigger turbo???got a mechanical pump you can turn up???
