Was given the best present ever today
Well to make a long story short my instructor at school is giving me a turbo 4BT cummins. First thing that popped into my head was hello new ranger =]. So i know i have a few things to over come such as engine, and trans mounts. a transmission in general, bell housing adapter etc. But those all seem to be minor things. What came into mind first was WEIGHT. So first i was wondering if any one knew how much the 4.0 weighed that way i can see how much more im going to have to beefen up the front end. I know the 4bt is around 750 lbs and 130 HP @ 1200 rpm and around 230 ft-lbs of tourqe.......Also if any one knows where i can track down a donor truck im all ears =]. also has any one on here done the swap b4?

well who ever said good things cant get better was wrong...i walk into school today and the instructor said "Yo there is another 4bt in trailer do u want it for spare parts?" with out missing a beat i replied with a is the sky blue? yes i want it. And i brought the first engine home today and i must say the stranger must likely would have down a wheelie down the turn pike with that 750 pound engine in the bed lol. ill have engine pics soon. first thing im doing is a complet tear down and rebuild.....How about some color ideas for the block and valve covers...
