Default 4bt into... help me decide

well I'm about to get my hands on a 4bt not sure if it's gonna be turbo but it should.I was wanting to put it into one of my junkers or hold off till I get something better help me decide.

My junkers are a
94 Jeep Grand cherokee with a 318
87 toyota 4x4
all the rest are full sizes
I can get other cool cars usually pretty easy what would be best to stick it in and easiest and cheapest. I love diesels would like to keep it mid size ish I'd rather do a 6bt into a fullsize but I'm getting a 4bt so that's it. thanks

Sounds like a plain, just remember take LOTS of pics.

Also have you checked out Cummins 4BT & Diesel Conversions Forums - Powered by vBulletin they may have some info you can use.

The Jeep, definately the Jeep. My wife wanted me to drop a 4BT into her '04 Grand Cherokee Limited, but I had to explain that she needed the PCM kept in her's and it wouldn't swap. If it wasn't for not liking the newer body styles, I'd have her a Jeep with the 3.0L TD. Don't be affraid to put that 4BT into a larger truck. Some guy on the internet has an F-250 4BT turbo / intercooled and he's getting right at 30 MPG with it. And look at the current Diesel Power magazine and see that 4BT Mud Bogger!

Come to think of it, putting a 4BT into one of your vehicles is just plain silly! Sell that 4BT to ME!!!
