98 CTD into a 90 F-250 questions

I have 98 CTD that I'm trying to convince my buddy that he needs to put in his 90 F-250 to replace his warn out 351. I have a couple questions though.

He has a 5spd behind the 351,(I beleive it is a ZF5) will that bolt up, or do we need to upgrade to a diesel ZF5?

can we flush out the gas tanks and use them or do we need to get diesel tanks?

as far as gauges got we should be able to swap out the gauge cluster for a diesl, so w e have the diesel tach and wait to start light?

other than that is there any other problems using a gas 351 to convert??
