some one please tell me Im crazy... well its too late cuz im going to do it !... dont ask me when but this will be my next swap ! a 6BT... check this video out, Ive been thinking about it for a while 400ft pounds of torque stock, only 6 cylidner... and this video makes it look super easy ! watch it.. nuff said.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZXEyxtDTNyE
i would look into a 4bt though the six cylinder might be a little too big but what do i know lol http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yxnfY-FjH5M lol look at the slicks on that thing!!
my friend on my street has one in his ram, the truck is uglier then hell and he got it for free or cheap from family.. im hoping i can talk him into selling it to me cheap...
Ya he stretched the front like 10-12inches the motor alone is like over 3.5 feet for something like tht. An you'd have to stretch the frame. The guy with the 4runner got his registration takin away becuz he put the cummins into a light duty truck. Or something like tht
sparkplugs... Just being sarcastic.... I know your going to school for this engine type! Although... Some folks would of said 6 if we just let it go for a full day!
I've been reading up on a 4bt swap for a few months now. Looks like the most expensive part would be mating a tranny.... The newer 4bt's make 99hp and around 300 ft/lbs of torque. Stock....
I'll be putting a 12 valve cummins in my 48 chevy before long... The motor is pretty big though. I doubt it'll fit in your truck very well.
But do look into this benz swap. I've always thought it would be a cool one to do. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HhxsN7HGo2Y
