To start off....I am new here. Great site tho. I have been searching for a place like this for a while. Most forums related to a particular vehicle cringe at the thought of swapping in something radical and most advise not to.
I have a 1994 F-150 4x4 with a 5.0 and 3.31 gears. I am toying with the idea of swapping in a 4BT this summer. My main concern is that the 4BT may lack power for this size of a vehicle as I mostly see them in landcruisers, scouts, and jeeps. However, I have seen some in larger trucks.
My goal in doing a swap like this would certainly be fuel mileage. I do not want or need a fast truck....but....I don't want one that is more of a turd than this 5.0 is now. I will also mention that I do like driving diesel trucks and I love to hear a diesel lugging away at 1500 rpms.
I like the 4BT because of its size and weight, I feel that it would make for an easier swap.....not to mention I see some of you posting impressive mileage numbers.
I know the 6BT would have plenty of power but it is longer and heavier.
Please, I would like to know your general opinion of the performance of a 4BT in a large vehicle.
