I have a Mercedes OM617 5 cylinder turbo diesel I intend to install in a 56 Dodge. The 4bt is a torque monster but heavy, while the Benz is more car like with lower torque but will rev to 5000 rpm. If you plan on towing or heavy hauling, the 4bt seems best, but if you plan on cruising and light loads the turbo Benz should be fine. The pilot house is actually much lighter than the MB 300 car the engine came in.
