Bread Truck question

67-72 Chevy conversions?

I came across a place called old british wheels in nova scotia canada. They are promoting a 2. 8L direct injection turbocharged diesel made my international diesel in san paulo in brazil. From my knowledge its used in land rovers? and brazilian fords like the ranger and f-150?. Not shure about that, but it weights only about 450 polunds, much lighter than the 4bt, and I love cummins but I think this engine is more practical for many types of small suvs. They have a forum up over there and maby if anyone is intrested in learning more you can check it out. www.obwcanada.com
 
Great link - they have lots of info up on that site.



Engine weight is a big factor and that little engine sure makes weight, but for me - I like knowing that I can crank up a 4BT to 400hp and back down to 130hp without breaking anything. If I do break something, the engine shares parts with the 6BT... parts are everywhere. For a daily driver, I don't want to have to wait for parts coming from South America.

Thats a great point, if its just a daily driver why go 400 hp. That would be really cool! I just wanted to make the swapping folks aware of one more option. If I was doing a 1/2 ton pickup or some thing bigger than a jeep I would go 4bt.

Because I can. :D



You did a very good thing by posting that info - we need more options and this seems like a good one so far. I just wanted to put my $. 02 in. Most of all, I'm a dyed in the wool Cummins guy... so I just gotta use a 4BT.
