I put a cummins 6bt in a chevy k3500 truck and had several trubles with the space, very difficult to put the a/c, its manual trans, you did a nice job there.

Did you end up putting an electric fan in front of the radiator? I didn't see one in a traditional spot.
what the heck engine is that? sounds like a little 4cyl for a diesel conversion should at do a detroit 453t or a 6v92 they will fit with the adapter bell houseing

@DRNEGOLICIS
Correct it's a 4 cylinder Cummins. As you can see the Cummins fit just fine.

I'm trying to decide between a 4 BT & a 6 BT for my 1990 Burban

Go with a 6BT. They are smoother, much more power and easy to come by. You will have to move the transmission back 3 inches.

a 6bt would have fit like a glove. How come it wasnt used?

I wanted to retain the stock transmission and it's location. Didn't want to slide it back and mess with driveshaft lengths changes and linkage modifications. Back then I thought the 6Bt was too heavy but after seeing others do a 6BT swap into a half ton chevy I'm now comfortable the the ideal of using a 6BT next time.
