I bought a 78 k10 with a seized 350. I have a 6.2 and a 6.5td, both with transmissions in my shop right now, and a i was just wondering, how much work is it to put one of them in my K10?

The engine will bolt to your transmission and mounts. You'll need wiring for the glow plugs, accessory brackets, a hydroboost brake system and some other stuff but it's not a terrible conversion. I did a 6.2 on my 55 Chevy 6100 truck.
