The build that I'm currently working on is a '91 S-10 with a 4.3 V6 / TH700R4 under a '47 3/4 ton Chevy pickup. I've been considering changing the motor to a Cummins 4BT with the same tranny and I'm wondering if anyone has ever tried it or knows what the potential pitfalls of using this engine is?

I know the chassis will support a 350 and that a 350 is about 28" in height and the 4BT is almost 36"... does anyone know if this will be an issue?

Cheers and Thanks,
Ted.
