Sixpack,
Well remembered the 300 F--D, did not want to break into this because could sound like an offense.
Jason,
This B 3.9L engine is being used a lot here in light trucks, quite reliable, but has that always present harshness and vibration particular to the bigger L4 diesel engines. The B5.9L L6 is by far and large a better option, although a little bigger and harder to install. But the huge amount of torque and the smoothness of the 6 is hard to ignore. Another very good option but I guess not available there would be the Mercedes 366, a turbo diesel L6 engine around the same size, weight and power of the 5.9B, only much cheaper to buy and maintain.
OlBlue,
Did You already see any Hot Rod with the 4200 Vortec? I'm curious about it!
