Default 4bt or 6bt?

So im trying to figure out if i can put these engines in my k5 blazer. I'm pretty sure i can put the 4bt in cause the stock diesel engine in it weighs rough;y the same, 100 lbs less at max, so i know it could handle it, put i wanted to know if the k5 could handle the 6bt? It has the more power i want, but it weighs almost 1000lbs so idk if it could handle the weight or even even if it could handle all the torque it has to offer, so can anyone help me out here?

lots of guys over at the 4bt forum have put the 6bt in the k5. To me more power is more better.

6BT wins.

True, im trying to go with the 6bt but i really dnt know how to get it done, as in what to replace and stuff,
Since its a powerful conversion i was wondering if anyone could help me figure out what needs to be replaced on it, im a little clueless right now, After all im trying to learn from this and this project is a great way to learn after all

Agreed... I went to some mud mogs this last weekend and someone had a 4bt in a K10 and he said it was too slow for him. He said he was going to switch over to the 6BT eventually.
