The only thing wrong with that old 350N was the nut behind the wheel.

I always am a bit amused by the old wives’ tale about the Olds 350 diesel being "converted" from its gasoline counterpart. That's just plain bunk; nothing was "converted". The 350N is/was a totally different engine.

The two engines share the same general overall appearance. I.E. They "look" the same in general configuration, but that's just about as far as it goes.

Parts that can be interchanged from the gas engine to the diesel are as follows:

1. Oil pump body and the oil pump drive shaft.
2. The rod bearing 'inserts' and rod fastening bolts only.
3. Push rods and rockers out of a gasoline engine will indeed “work” in a diesel.

Everything else is diesel specific down to and including the wing nuts on the air cleaner.
