I have a F250 with a cummins. But I don't think that helps you. I know the 4 cly cummins is a popular swap for suburbans.

They did it on Extreme 4x4 TV. Might be able to get some info from the site.

What year?
I almost did an excursion.
I could not find a donor for under $6k.
I found a 94 suburban for under $1k and its super clean already with a 6.5 diesel in it.(blown motor)

The 4bt is plenty strong at 160 hp and 330 ft lbs of totque.
The only issue is the rattling.Its really bad.
