the 4BD is about the same height as the 2F, but you dont have that big air cleaner on top. dropping in a cruiser with no lift will have to be smart, but is totally doable. one of the problems is the starter, it sticks out pretty far and i had to move the engine to the passenger side off center, which is opposite the 2F favoring the driver side, so things like differential, tranny tunnel and other mods will need to be considered when keeping the rig stock height. i have the bottom of the 4BD engine at the same height as the 2F and have at least 4" clearance to the hood. i could have lifted it but then i would have gotten into the tranny hump. when positioning the engine i was trying to keep the lowest center of gravity and the flattest posible belly, it turned out good.
