Modified 1977 Covette with a 6.5L Diesel

I found another diesel Corvette over the weekend. Check it out at http://www.thedieselpage.com/readers/vet.htm.

From what I understand, quite a few GM muscle cars with a 300R transmissions can accept either the 6.2 L or 6.5 L engines with little modification. These diesel engines being extremely common and mating directly up on the factory motor mounts of most GM products that came with this standard transmission. From what I'm told the only two real mods required are the addition of a vacuum pump and an alteration to the fuel pump.
