  I believe he's talking about the B4t (B series, 4 cylinder turbo).  It's 
2/3 of the pickup engine.  Frito Lay and similar type vans use them 
quite a bit.  It'd been suggested to me for my daughter's '37 but the 
Nissan should be a better fit.  :-)
  Guy over at Pacific Beach knows a guy near there who put a Perkins 
in a pickup along with an auxilary transmission.  He'd heard rumors of 
50+mpg and after buying the fuel on a trip they took he found out it was 
true!  :-)
