Diesel Swap ????
First off Hello to everybody . I've been lurking around 4bt swap and diesel bomber site trying to gain some incite about diesel conversion for a 74 Bronco ,
I was thinking about throwing a 4bt in the truck but everybody that has one forsale , they think they have a gold mine . So started looking at Mercedes 5 cylinder turbo diesel and put it up against a ZF 5 speed , But really havn't alot of information good or bad about a Mercedes engines . Can anybody pass on there knowledge ? Thanks JT :tu: |
I dnt either... But you dnt have any large bakary/chip/parcel delivery wharehouses in the area? Thats your best bet for a cheap 4bt.

Well believe it or not I have been on Dove bid trying to put my hands on a chip truck . I just think that they try and drive the price as high as possible , I have seen the same truck go up for auction more times then I possible would like to mention . I maybe a little bit of a tight ass but I don't like to give money away . As far as anything local I havn't found anything . That's why I started looking at a Mercedes conversion . Do you happen to know where there a 4bt setting for a good price ?
|
Does it have to run? My bud has one that needs a slight rebuild but comes with all the stuff. He thought about selling it but he wasnt sure.
|
how much does he want for it jake?
|
That I do not know but I can ask him and see what he says
|
Let me know how much , No it don't have to run . What happen to it ? What kind of adapter is ther for the transmission
|

There are other large 4cyl diesels used in the smaller cabovers.... Hino, Isuzu/GMC, etc. Might be worth a look.
The 4BT prices are up because it has such a following now for conversions. So much is the case you can get a 2wd Dodge with a 6BT for less in most cases. |
Yea but I still don't think they worth what a lot poeple are asking . I really do understand but it just a diesel engine in a bad economy . I know I just try to do deal with a guy on 4bt swap and he would come down on the price then raise the price on the adapter . Yea one these days I find a fair deal .
