I also have a '91 Ranger. Recently took the engine (2.3L) out of it. My current plan is a 4.0L swap. Know of any small diesels that would do good in this project?

only problem with the 4cyl cummins swap is there kinda hard to find.
that would be a sweet motor in the little ranger. guys are putting the 4cyl cummins into jeeps but even the 4cyl has so much torque it destroys the factory drive train as well... thats the problems with any diesel in a light duty vehicle. I imagine that the new ford v6 diesel is going to have more torque than a 12 vavle cummins.
