Re: project pacific wonder

I cant wait to hear what you think of the 4bt as a burb power plant. I have heard, that in stock form for the most part they put out about 300lb.ft of torque which is the same as a TBI 350. Im just curious if the 100ish hp they have will have an effect on its hill pulling power. For example, a TBI 350 burb will pull itself and a trailer full of wood over mild grades while maintaining 55mph fairly easily. I wonder if the 4bt will do the same. Furthermore what i wonder is if a slightly modified 4bt will, if a stock 4bt wont. Either way, i think they are super cool motors and i want one!
