The diesel engine will not up to the small block transmission bellhousing. It's a big swap that involves more than just the engine.

Unless you have a complete donor diesel engine truck of a similar year range, your swap is going to be very expensive and time consuming. Even with a complete donor the time involved is a lot more than you may expect. In the end you wind up with a frankentruck that tends to be very hard to sell. If the current 5.8L engine is in good shape mechanically it is a decent engine to use for towing.
