The Cummins motor is sweet, but it is tall adn long, and weighs about as much as the Power Poke (I'm a Dodge Truck kind of guy). My 93 Dually now has 249hp at the rear wheels (compared to 165 stock at the crank/ 112 stock at the rear wheels), but I don't think it would be a good swap for a T-bird due to height and weight, and the trans dimensions.

My personal recommendation is the Puegot diesel that they used in mid 80's jeeps. It's a 4 cyl turbo motor, and came with stick or auto trans, and can be had fairly cheap, I saw one in the paper last year in a runner/driver for $750 with title.
