junk yards

that deal with medium duty trucks some where there maybe a swat van or bread truck with the little 4bt maybe a CASE implement they use the 4bt in the uniloader (skidloader) if they have one that burned up but engine good ? or loader ready to scrap out





good luck in your search!

I have always thought of the same thing, a 4BT in a GM truck. There seems to be radiator clearence problems with the 6 cylinder if an intercooler is used. I know you guys make huge power with the 6 cylinder but could the 4 banger be made to have a reliable 300rwhp? What are the specs on it as far as weight?

be very careful who you buy from.



at our last club meeting we all got to see first hand a internet robbery.



one of the guys on our club bought an engine out of a yard in Florida. he was told it was a solid engine and ran.



well the Head had cracks in every cylinder, some multiple. the number four rod was spun. no fuel lines (he was promised to have them sent as soon a they came across a set. ) basically he was robbed. the guy wont make good and now refuses his calls.



BE CAREFUL... ... .

What yard in Florida? I live there and was looking for a 4B. I certainly want to avoid that yard.
