Two things to really consider would be durability of the engine/transfer combo and cost/parts availability. 6.5 Chevy td. Bad cranks, bad injection pumps, overheating issues. And expensive. Ford diesel's....... Stay away from any except the 7.3, the 6.0 and 6.4 are only good for adding weight to your scrap metal pile. 6Bt and 4bt are fantastic engines but unless you have 6 or 7 grand forget it. Stay away from Chevy v6 for durability, ford too, except the sho engines and the 2v 4.0, and any Ford v6 transmission based on a c3. Ford 2.3 Lima is a good engine but almost as heavy as a v8. And short stroke/small cylinder displacement. So you will have to review the pants off it to move, no low end.
