Hi, I have been looking into swapping a Cummins 4BT into my 77 F150 and the only bad things i've heard about this is the added noise and vibration that im going to get. To me, the increased fuel economy, torque and longevity of the diesel would outweigh these drawbacks but i'd still like to know just how bad it is before hand and how to lessen it.
So is there any particular year or model 4bt that has less vibration or noise than the others? Is there a way to balance these engines better? How about motor mounts, what material is best at absorbing that vibration?
