I have a 1983 310 with the chevy 454, unfortunately part of one of the spark plugs ended up in the piston and destroyed my engine with only 70k miles on it.
I am looking at switching over to a Diesel engine, is there a cummings I can use? anyone else convert one of these oldies?
thanks

I have replaced my 454 with a Chevy Duramax LMM in my 345 airstream. I have driven it Maine to Key West 3 RT towing a 10,000# boat getting 11 to 17mpg. The replacement is not for the week of heart and requires a lot of modification. There is a bunch of pics and explanations on Duramax swap "AirRowan". Good luck.
