Putting a 1987 6.2 Diesel in a 1956 Chevy 3100?

[marslawn]

I am in the process of inquiring two different rigs. Both are going to be basically free. One is a 1956 Chevy 3100 that is complete minus a engine and transmission. The other is a 1987 Suburban diesel 6.2L that runs, but has not been driven for a awhile. I always love a project, one thing I love even more is doing a project with as little money has possible. I thought it would be cool to put a the 6.2L in the 1956 3100. I would also do a power steering swap and front disk brakes as well. The thing that would be cool is it would get great milage.

Anybody done this?

old trucks with (semi)modern mechanical parts are awesome in my opinion!
