Just thinking to future projects.

Is it at all possible to swap a Cummins 4BT motor into an older ford truck. Any years between 1973-1986 give or take a few

Id like to have a small diesel in a truck, mainly for the gas efficency and torque ratings. I dont need an 8-cyl as I'm not pulling around full trailer loads of concrete blocks.

Thanks.

 

I dont see why it wouldn't fit. They cram those bulky things into Jeep Wranglers.

Is there anybody that has done this, or know where to find people who have done this?

 

Diesel Power Magazine had a huge write up on the install of a Cummins 4bt they did on a Jeep Wrangler. Check their website or email them for some info.

I don't know if this will help you but I was lookin' around on the net and I found the Ford Brazil website. As far as I could tell the only engine you can get in an F250 down there is a 4-cyl Cummins. That tells me that it shouldn't be too terribly difficult to put one in.
