AnswerAt least 1 con would be that the price of diesel is the most expensive type of gas on the market today, and an engine that age and size would use even more. AnswerWho said diesel is the most expensive fuel type? Check again.

edit; My 2¢.

Pros. Been around for a number of years. No computer controls. Parts are easy to find. Parts are usually cheap compaired to other diesels. Will basically "bolt in" when swapping out a Chevrolet V8 gas engine. Gets pretty decent mileage. Can be run on other fuels besides diesel fuel such as biodiesel, waste vegetable oil, used motor oil and Transmission Fluid. A fair amount of info can be found on the internet about different repairs or preventive measures.

Cons. Not exactly a powerhouse. Has about the pulling power of a 305 gas V8. Problems on some older engines of the same family were cracked engine blocks, broken crankshafts, cracked heads, to name a few.
