Better get a BFH to "massage" the trans tunnel, along with a hefty increase in weight.

Well, honestly its a dumb idea in terms of money spent and actual results.

Nothing will be easy, everything will be custom, and the fact that you think a T56 is a good idea, is a good factor in saying it won't work. Also, good luck wiring it all up, that will be a lovely time.

There is no real reason short of "look at what I did" to swap in a Dmax, a bone stock engine will run over 5k and nothing on a diesel performance is cheap. Build a turbo BBC and toss that in, guarantee it will outperform the dmax. Not saying it can't be done, cause its does get done, but they don't make for fast race cars...

Uh, don't you do to diesel school?

CP3, FCIM etc all would need inputs etc.. so you would wanna run the dmax PCM, and find a way to convert its dash signals to your chassis dash cluster.

I say do it, so many lsx, and ltx builds out there. No reason to be just another slow ls1 when you can have your very own claim to fame and at the same time put your diesel mechanic skills on display
