Even a 3K G83P had the slant 6. I think they called it a ramp climber, and it could certainly climb a ramp, even at 1/4 throttle.
I had to put 2 pistons, bearings , and gaskets in a TM Mazda a couple years ago. The pistons were $400 each without rings, oil pan gasket $100, head gasket $100, etc.
Keep in mind a slant 6 operates at a much higher RPM than a diesel and I would think a diesel forklift is geared for a slower turning motor. You will also have to figure out how to connect the flywheel to the torque converter.

Fact of the week
The two internal cavities in our nose called nostrils function as separate organs. Each nostril has its own set of turbinates and olfactory receptors. The two independent organs work together through a mechanism called the nasal cycle, where one nostril is dominant for air intake while the other rests and is better at detecting scents.
