454- cummins

I have a 1976 gmc 6500 with a 454 interceptore mated to a clarke 5spd I want to ditch the 454 gasser for a diesel i found a 6BT 210hp on diesel trader web site for $6000 or a CAT 3116 250 hp out of a 94 kodiak for $5500 but what am I going to need to do? the radiator should work am I going to need an intercooler? I have no idea how to go about this!
