Re: 91 chevy diesel tranny 2 wheel drive
Probably not. The bellhousing bolt pattern usually isn't standard Chev pattern. Most diesels use Olds/Buick/Pontiac/Caddy bolt pattern.
The other issue is the torque arm. The diesel tranny won't have the torque arm mount on the tailshaft.
If it's not a 700R4 then you have other issues like tranny crossmember, driveshaft length etc to deal with.
The 91 should be using a 4L80E which means it also needs a computer to operate the tranny.

Re: 91 chevy diesel tranny 2 wheel drive
a 4L80-E is a good trans. look up s10wildside's EFI tips re: running EFI on your engine + controlling the trans. or the aftermarket 4L80-E controllers. It's probably a more complicated transmission option than you'll want though.

the 6.2L and 6.5L diesels have the standard chevy bellhousing.
