i doubt a 6.2L is gonna bolt up to a v6/I4 tranny(dont kno which you have), there is some wiring and ecu control, esp in a GM(has been since the late 70s? i think) the fuel system is going to ahve to change, you need a lift pump, the wiring and the fuel block(should be part of the motor) yes diesel run on compression and not spark, i beleive the 6.2ls used a glow plug might be a toaster element, something to heat the air or fuel mixture when its below 40*F. if you can do it right and cheap, go for it, i wanna see stacks on that bitch tho
