didnt the monty from that year come with a i6 in it as well as a v8? it shouldent be a problem if it came with a i6 and the diesels can slide right in and redo the fuel system to handel the different fuel. but to be honest i would have to go with the duromax chevy has. but the duromax is imo is in just about every junk yard engine fine but what it is sitting in is shot.
