Unfortunately there isn't after-market made for the Diesel, and I don't think I am in need of much more power lol

Thank you, there were a LOT of late nights ....and head scratching The diesel that is in there is 5" wider and 2" longer than the SBC I had to move the steering rack forward 2.5" re model the HAVC box, adjust the subframe and move the motor mounts 1/2" to the drivers side.
And after all that there was no room for the turbo so I went with a rear mount, and sacrificed the passenger rear locker
Here are a few pics of the exhaust/turbo setup...

As many of you know fuel prices are going up and up and currently gas is
$8.25 a gallon here
and so the second reason for the diesel swap........oh and there is the small matter of s**t loads of torqueA few more pics to be going on with....
Tailgate open
Moving the steering rack forward and narrowing the cross-member
Changing the outlet angle of the passenger side manifold
Shortening the oil pan...
Changes to the A/C box
