BT4 swaps are fairly difficult. The engine its self is pretty pricey.
A BT4 swap breaks down as being far more expensive, way more complex for a slight fuel economy gain over a chevy diesel swap.
I have seen one BT4 swap into a 92 or newer suburban over on diesel place and the guy never posted any fuel economy numbers and I got the feeling he wasn't real happy with the end product.
You could always do a duramax swap, cost would be close to the BT4 but the duramax will bolt up to the transmission, motor mount adaptors can be bought off the shelf at a number of retailers.
