And on the diesel parts costing 3x the gas stuff? If you buy a 94-98 dodge with a 6bt and a NV4500 for $4000 or less, there's the majority of what you need to do the swap. One of these stock with some free mods will net 250-350hp and get "real" mileage. You'll have atleast $4k in a strong 496 or bigger with good parts. And I know the 496 or bigger won't get 15mpg towing unless you have a 500cfm carb, or your trailer is paper machey.
If I would have wanted yalls opinion on a junky diesel I would have asked for it
