Cummins Conversions on a 4BT ?

[snake]

My brother has a 4bt. 3. 9 cubic inch, 105 horse power Cummins diesel engine. It includes 4 speed transmission, drive shaft, turbo, and other parts. He said it does not have an inline fuel pump. He wants $3,000. 00, do you think this is a good price. The motor has about 45,000 miles on it. Thanks David.



{P. S. Looking for phone numbers of parts dealer that deal with use cummins engines. I have a few phone number from this web site. Any that you have would be appreciated. }

Sounds high to me...

about $2000 is more on par.

this places sells them...

Neosho Truck Parts in Neosho WI, about an hour westnorthwest of Milwaukee,

I called them and they have 4bt w/th400s for ~$1700 and tons of 19. 5" wheels for ~$60 ea.

I just looked at what sound slike the same setup for $1000, maybe I should not wait too long to buy it... . the guy was alos selling a whole running bakery truck with this setup for $2,500

I'd like to know where you guys are finding these good deals on these Frito-Lay and/or bakery trucks.....

I must be looking in the wrong places, but all the 4BT's I have found are low HP ( I want the inline pump... ) and HIGH $$.....

see the earlier post. . has a PH#

 

[HoleshotHolset]

Yeah, that's why I wrote my reply..... that place is in WI... . I'm in MA... cost to ship a 4BT would soon equal its purchase price.

I'm gonna try the local boneyards... . it's worth a shot.

Thanks!

Can someone tell me who the manufacturer is that makes the Frito Lay box vans? I'm soing a search for those, but don't know who makes the box van.



thanks

Chevy chassis... the reason for the TH400 transmission.

 

[KPhillips]

figured that was probably the case, but heck they put 400's behind AMC 360's in Jeeps, so I figured I better ask to make sure. .



thanks

Does the turbo 400 bolt right up?

 

[Crash_AF]

I believe Grumman makes the van bodies for the potato chip trucks.



If you get a 4BT from a GM chassis van, it has a GM pattern flywheel cover so any GM transmission will bolt to it. The vans came with either a TH400 or a SM465 4 speed.

4BT's with SM465 4-Sale

I have no affiliation with this company/dude/whoever this # connects to..... I just found the ad in the Want-Ad



Look for the typos:



"4-4BBL TURBO CUMMINS ENGS. Compl takeout w/4-spd trans. $1000 ea; (Tyngsboro, MA) (978)-649-6584"



Just passing along some info... . these 4BT's are pretty easy to come by if you look in the right places... . now I know where to find 'em... . !

The guy's name is Frank, the motot has the rotary pump and 4 speed trans, he has a few, I may buy 1 soon, before you guy get a chance to, he has a whole truck for sale also, same setup, he has a parts engine with an aftercooler manifold.....

 

[HoleshotHolset]

Too bad they have the rotary pumps on 'em..... darn.

The aftercooled manifold could be neat for anyone wanting to use it in a marine application or that wanted to use an air/water intercooler (aftercooler) setup instead of air/air.
