that crewcab s-10 with the dually wheels is my buddys truck and he is putting in a turbo diesel motor this winter, it got a SBC 350 in it right now, he is getting the diesel motor out of a 80's style caprice that is came with from the factory. the only difference between the diesel and the 350 is the diesel at the valve covers is like 4" wider

that and the 350 diesel is a TURD. They weren't turboed in the Olds... and they're known for premature head gasket failure.
They have a really short stroke, so they're consider extremely high compression.. They pretty much rip head bolts off.
The crankshaft is also known to break do to weak bolts.
tell him to consider buying a duramax for it.

I think he should do a duramax also. Or just leave a SBC in it. Sometimes people go down the wrong road just to be "different" or "the first" to do it. Did he ever change the tires to something safe yet?
