How do you replace a diesel engine Chevy Caprice classic?

Answer 1

Whatever you do don't buy a junkyard diesel engine. The 350 car diesel was built off of a 350 gas engine at the time. So it did not work well and was very unreliable. I would suggest rebuilding your old diesel, or purchasing a new orre manufactured unit from GM. Theses routes will fix the common problems that made these engines hideously unreliable. GM basically killed most diesel engine car production with this unreliable engine. Everyone assumed every diesel was this bad. That is not the case, most other diesel's such as the Chevette 1.8 Isuzu diesel, and the VW diesel's of the time are very good. Hope I didn't sound preachy, I was just trying to help.
