wow, what a waste of a good 1st gen, Looking at the motor comparment with the I-su-zoo compared to the more powerful cummins it seems like its lacking something... . the rest of the motor!!! :-laf

I love the quote.....

" It will do 55mph!" I'll bet you could use a sundial to measure the 0-60 time!

"Real Head Turner"

Look at the custom brake pedal and that shifter. ROFLMAO



That looks like the diesel that was used in the IMark series of cars. My brother had a Imark for a few years. It took 1/2 a mile to get to 55 MPH with it. With that engine in a truck that is twice the weight it would take close to a mile to get to 55 MPH.

I have put 5000 miles on it so far, it just keeps on going!

Sounds like a Ford 6. 0

i must say its fugly

I must admit that is not what i wanted to see, but you do have to give the guy credit for his ingenuity, now just think as some of you have done your conversions, besides its takes pple like him and some of us to come up with these ideas and possibly one day there might be a market for such conversions whether it be a 24V or 12V cummins in a suburban or the diesel escort thats also on ebay have any of you seen that one and that thing runs from what the ad says, i dunno just looking at it made me have ideas. If i can find it i will post a link...

Kinda gives me the inspiration to do something I've wanted to do for a while... install a 4BT in my 1984 F-150. The truck was originally my grandpas. Got it with 81,000 miles and now its got 225K. The ole 300 six is still reliable but tired.



Anyway... we've got SkyTraks at work (telescopic fork lifts, 4WD) that have 4BT's mated to Ford automatic transmissions. I think they are C6's. They had one out for a transmission rebuild last week and I was doing a little measuring. Would look nice under there! Probably do more than 55 too! Some of the models have turbo... but most are NA.

The claim of 40mpg from a full size pickup is impressive.

LIke is that the APU under the Hood? I had a 1st Gen, It had a motor Radiator to Firewall!! Oo.

That sure looks like the engine in my '83 Isuzu pup farm truck, the N/A pup's are under powered for a mini truck, I shudder to think how slow a full size truck with that engine would be
