Exclamation swapping 390 to 6.9 diesel

i have a 1970 f-250, i want to swap my 390 out for a 6.9, is it possible, and if so, will it bolt to my c-6? id appreciate anyones help on this matter, my 8 miles to a gallon is killing me, my father is going to start making biodiesel, and i will be geting it for free, and cant afford a whole truck, that and i love mine, and would love to have a diesel in it! thanks, Dustin

The C6 from the 390 will only bolt up to other FE engines. Your best bet is find a rolled donor and pull everything from the grill back to transfer over...

Sorry --Mike
