I have a running, so I was told, diesel engine with tranny from a 1982 Chevy Luv 2wd that I'm looking for a truck to put into. I do have a 1979 Gas Chevy Luv 4wd with a great frame and good body. The gas engine's oil light comes on when idling and it only gets up to about 50-55 mph. Would it be best to try to put the 82 diesel LUV engine into the 79 LUV or try to find another, (newer), truck to put it into? Would I lose the 4wd in the 79 LUV? Anyone know what make,model and year trucks the 82LUV diesel and tranny would swap into with the least amount of modification?
Thanks, LB
