you start adding the cost of sourcing the correct back plate you have to have and the flywheel that it didn't come with and ,,,, oh yea that damn outfit called advanced adaptors just wont sell those bits at a giveaway price,
Plus the hemeroid surgery from the butt sore cringing syndrome of not only driving something so equipped after going into that much hock--just to be in with the latest oddball IN crowd. oh and lets not forget The attempts to sell the project off to some new guy to the crazee 4bt thing because you realize its just too damn rough to use in anything,,, there is a durango equipped one someone could get for .....
and last but not least the dentist bill to have the fillings replaced.
hey lets get a s10 frame and an old heap from the farmers tree row and build a _real_ truck!!

I've got my 4BT up and running. It makes the stock 7.3 (180 hp) look like a turd. EGT's won't go over 950 and boost runs about 50 lbs. Just a "crazee 4bt thing" I guess.
As far as the vibration, I used liquid filled engine isolators and there is hardly any vibration or shake.
