Either TONS of money and someone to do it, or LOTS of money, tools, and fabrication to do it yourself.
Since your asking, I assume you will have to pay someone to do it.
Check into Colorado's rules for engine swaps. Places like California require you to have an engine that is as old or newer than the year of your truck.
Expect to pay 3-5k for the engine. Then expect to pay another 3-5 AT LEAST for someone to install it.
And then 2 or 3k for the biodiesel conversion equipment to make your own biodiesel.
