4BT vs R2.8
The Cummins 4BT engine is a well-known engine in the diesel conversion world. Although the 4BT, is a good option for many conversions; there are some downsides to the 4BT. Some of the negatives to using a 4BT in a conversion would include weight, vibration, noise as well as a limited power band. The R2.8 is a good alternative to the 4BT because, the weight makes it a viable option for most any build.
