Thanx to guys on this board I've been able to one, discover this motor which two, enabled me to research it further.
So far I've found out that Frito Lay did some diesel conversions to there P30 vans in the 80s and that some guys are bolting them into there Toyota 'cruisers. I took the info learned here and asked the cruiser guys on POR what they knew about the topic they gave me a few links:

Here's an interesting article from Proffits Conversions:

Here's a list of some guys specs with the 4BT

So far I've found that they come bolted to the NV4500, the T19 (yeah I know, ***?), and the Chevy 400.
Could anyone that's an actual POR member do a search for me. (it seems they've removed the search function from us mere mortals) and see if there is any more stuff on the cummins 4bt? (what does 4BT stand for?)
I know this is thinking outside the box but it's cool as hell IMO. One guy is claiming up to 30mpg runnin' 38s!
Once again any and all help is appreciated. The topic interests me so I'll keep you all up to date with what I find out as well.
