The 4BT is heavy and TALL. I have an ISB170 (common rail 4BT) in my 08 Dakota.

The weight was a bit more than the 4.7L that came out which was not much of a problem but the height was the real issue.
I had to do a 3" body lift and drop the diff (IFS) 2" just to get oilpan clearance.
Also had to heavily mod the pan.
There are lots of Cummins swap forums that you may get more info on. Its a cool swap.
