Re: 4bt cummins swap

Hmmmm...eloquent.

Is it 'cause it ain't good ol' 'merican steel?

I think that it might be cool to put together a hybrid exotic if it did the job. Learned that they are 6 cylinder but in the size SUV they come in should be a good fit in a '65 compartment. Just brain stormin'

Your going to cut up a 20k + suv for a project? The engine and trans alone are probably worth 5-10k.

Anything is possible, how much money do you have?

The amount of wiring and computer problems would make your head explode. Thats even if someone is capable of hacking to the computers so it will run stand alone. If you couldnt do that you'd have to have a custom harness made with a standalone ecu. Theres miles of wiring in those things.

The new twin turbo inline bmw diesel is a pretty badass engine. I think the 2011 was the previous generation, single turbo.
