Default 4.3L Diesel conversion

Hi,
This is kinda boating-related. Anybody hear of anyone who's converted
the Venerable GM 4.3L V6 to diesel? I'd like to do that in my van. I don't
see any room for anything other than a V6, and would like diesel.

"Far Cove" Catalina 36 - already has diesel


A diesel is not just a petrol engine with an injector pump.

Were it viable the power would be substantially down as would reliability.

If fuel cost is your motivation have a look at lpg (I think you prefer
to call it propane) many cars here are dual fuel, mine are.
