ranger 6bt or 4bt
alright i got some questions
1. will the stock axles even support a 4bt let alone a 6bt?
2. and firewall trimming to get it to fit?
3. 6bt or 4bt? (opinions needed)
4. can still have the stock vacum brake booster?
5. what is the weight difference between a 4t and 6bt?
thats all for now i know there is more im just drawin blanks.
thanks in advanced,and if you have any other things that i should be askin go ahead and let me know.

yah the guy that put a 6bt in a s10 had to majorly renovate his firewall, plus your trans will then be so far back too........ go with a 4bt if you can find one, it sucks because the big 6 is so plentiful and cheap :s i say throw in a vw 1.9L turbo

well im going to have to upgrade the suspension and axle either way. so i was gonna put a dana 44 and have a 6inch liftso that way i know the axle would support it and clear the oil pan. but there was a guy on youtube with a 6bt cummins and the 12 valve is a amazing motor and woud ffer more than enough power without any modifications than a 4bt would

i have a 8 inch lift and my oil pan clears but 1/2" right now in a full size chevy. and good luck keep the knuckles on a dana 44 with the weight of a 6bt. a 4bt would be a great swap especially in a little ranger. you can easily make 200 horsepower and alot of torque on a 4bt with minimal mods. even that amount of power will move a ranger quite easily. you should see how tight my engine bay is on my full size silverado. i dont think you can grasp how big a 6bt is until you start trying to put it under your hood
