why go inferior? the ford diesels are notorious for bad blocks. cavitation. a 4 bt will get 3 times the mileage. couple guys I know with ford diesels get 12 mpg. not acceptable IMO. also weight. 4bt much lighter and more suited to the PW chassis.

Then there is resale value. basically it would be an oddball build and not worth as much as if you used a Cummins or a mopar V8. If I was building a 49 ford I would put a ford in it. worth more than when you put a chevy in it. Staying with the brand usually results in higher resale values.
