I own a LARGE collection of hammers, 4 Sawzalls, 2 cutting torches 1 plasma cutter. I have no problem putting anything in anything

I wouldn't want to quick rev that 4bt on an off angle, it would flip the truck from the torq and rotating weight.

Look at the Mercedes 5 cyl diesels they are good engines, but heavy and costly to get parts for.

UNBREAKABLE · « **Reply #33 on:** Apr 09, 2005, 07:44:01 PM »

I can get a 4bt from the sale for next to nothing

Willy Mammoth · « **Reply #34 on:** Apr 09, 2005, 07:54:01 PM »

What are the specs on it? weight, size, flywheel diamiter. hp/torq ratting and max rpm?

Ok, I have a TBI 350/TH350/NP208...Should I run it? I am gonna change the NP208 to dual toyota cases...I'm working on a deal to get the adapter plate from another board member.

None of the above,
go 3.4L(5vzfe) supercharger and fuel management system = 300hp!
Otherwise, 4.3 chevy!

superstarai · « **Reply #41 on:** May 09, 2005, 04:03:57 PM »

What about the foreign or not so popular toyota diesel engine? They look good and fun. I thought about putting on in mine but then i thought too much change over. Do some research on that.

Willy Mammoth · « **Reply #42 on:** May 09, 2005, 10:10:59 PM »

I'm looking at the TD27T nissan engine, but they have to be imported. 440 lbs 154 ft lbs of torq at 4000 rpm and 98 hp. That's a 2.7 L turbo.

No, no, no, you've all got it wrong.

Willy Mammoth · « **Reply #44 on:** May 10, 2005, 04:03:51 AM »

WTF is that? Looks like a two or three cyl, hard to see if there is a coil wire in the middle of the cap or not.

CTENG in KS · « **Reply #45 on:** May 10, 2005, 05:35:12 AM »

Hows about one of them 13BT Rotary engines...they only weigh 170 lbs...I want one...13,000RPM and dump the clutch!

i'm lookin to put in a diesel as well, they also have a 4.0 liter v6 diesel, dont know the power rating. theres a web site i'll try to find again that sells used diesel engines of various mileage/price, all are overhauled with weared parts replaced with brand new ones and all cleaned up. 252000 miles on a 2.7L at 600 bucks, 72,000 miles for 900.

Too pricey....If I could afford that I would run a 2JZGTTE Twin turbo Supra engine.

I would keep a toyota a toyota, I would use a non turbo 7MGE motor. 200 hp and about 180 pound feet torque. The truck tranny will bolt right up to the supra bell housing. I have a freshly rebuilt 7M in my garage with 0 miles on it that I want to put into my 83 yota.
