I am in the same boat, but I have a 79 J20 pickup, thinking/hoping to do a diesel swap, looking for a local 94-98 5.9 truck thats been hit

If by dry they mean stripped, you might get a 6BT that light.
I can vouch for the 4BT being really, really close to 800 Lbs installed weight, which is the only weight you need to worry about. |
the marine version of the 6bt weighs 960lbs. dont know about an auto. i could weigh the one in my shop tomorrow..
|
I was wanting to put a 6bt in a 1/2 1992 gmc...which would be better the 4bt or the 6bt and what would I need to "beef" when I do this?
