i have always wanted to do a motor swap like this but dont have the knowledge to know where to begin.. do you know of a book or dvd that gives you the run down on how to swap a gas to a Diesel motor
The Cummins 4BT or ISB 3.9 liter turbo-charged four cylinder looks like a good fit. This engine can be found in some Ford
E350 cube vans, Chevy/GMC P30/P3500 step vans, and Case 580 Tractors. This ISB puts out 145-170 HP and 420 pounds of torque. That is 80 pounds more than the 6.0 Vortec V8. Unfortunately the ISB is so new the chance of getting one used is slim. Buying one new is a little too rich for our project so we decided the 4BT would be the one to look for.
Hey really nice looking. I have a 1996 cummins 4bt.I was wondering if you could show us all how you wired it up to start it up? I have no idea to make it start. thanks.
these came in the frito lay trucks .it was a repower program from cummins to save fuel in the delivery trucks versus the 350 ci chevy . they range in horsepower from 105 HP to 130 intercooled Hp . they have as much torque as a big block chevy . an awsome engine for fuel economy and torque Monster . keep your eyes peeled for my next one soon to be released and for sale !
man thats beautiful. look how "simple" and "easy" this engine looks just sitting there running. only wires for the battery. no complicated wiring harness with ECU's and ECM's and relays and fuses and hoses and plastic parts every where. its a shame what modern day engines have come to due to emissions BS.
@ilovegoatsecks I used to think the same thing, and when it comes to emissions you're right, but with electronic engines you can get twice the performance and efficiency as the older stuff......but I do love these cummins!
HI ..it is more responsive because i Tune mine right !.... i didnt start in this yesterday !! i will be listing another one in about a month ..keep your eyes open :-)

This engine seems alot quieter compared to alot of the other 4bt's.

@AgainstTh3Grain
Install it into a chassis before judging how quiet! LOL
any engine sitting out in the open will be 'quiet'. The frame and surrounding sheetmetal acts like a soundboard
