Go punch up diesel motor conversion, you will see and hear of diesels put in everything but a golf car.
You'll get forums and diesel talk and maybe the answer you need.

From what I've heard, the 4bt is alot easier than the 6 bt, but both can be done. I think that the 6bt is too long and requires moving the radiatior. Take a look in the tech tips on this site and also look herewww.4btswaps.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=14

Yah... Just a little.... I was onto the muscle thing long before I got my bolt..... I saw it and thought; "THAT's what my engine deserves!!" smile

When I get her done with 22.5" low-pro tires, air ride, and stacks, she'll be a real head turner, to say the least.... Especially as a 2wd contender at the local truck pull....... smile

re; the 4BT's & ponies...check out some of the rock crawler crowd who have pumped these little 4bangers to 5 & 600 hp. That's just nuts!
