I have a 82 blzer and I am getting ready to retire my old 350 and swap in a 4 cylinder cummins. They make plates for it so i can bolt it right up to my SM465 and i have the welders and tools necesary but I know there are going to be some things i need and i am not sure what they are and I know there are some of you who do so any input would be great.

im looking into this as well. i plan on swapping in a cummins 4bt motor to bolt up to my 465 with doubler.

i hav not done much home work on the subject yet. i am a little limited in resources. i do know there is a 465 bellhousing that fits the cummins 4bt. i know a lot of bread trucks had them in them. also from what i have been told its a one wire deal other than the starter. i want to run a turbo on the one i put in so i will most likely be rebuilding the engine before it gets installed.

ill keep an eye on this post and update you as i go.

I geuss the last post would make more sense if i had a different user name,ha, well this is my new username not that anyone really cares.
 
There was a bread truck for sale down the road with a 4bt and chevy tranny for $3k. /forums/images/graemlins/histerical.gif You will have to do some serious modifications to your motor mounts.

Not if it came out of a bread truck. The cummins motors in bread trucks were all repowers, and all dropped right into the factory 350 motor mounts.

Do you guys know any sites that have performance parts for it? I saw a ranger with a 4 cylinder cummins in it and it was tuned to about 500HP.

where did you find a 4 cylander cummins? i want one BAD, but they're pretty rare. anyway good find you can squeeze twice the torque out of those, than a 350. And get way more MPGs. /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif /forums/images/graemlins/peace.gif

[/ QUOTE ] 500HP!?! /forums/images/graemlins/yikes.gif That is respectable even for a 6BT. Thats equal to a 6BT pushing about 675HP. 500HP is a lot for that little motor. /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif

You can find them in P-30 trucks, large air compressors and generators. I have also seen them in street sweepers and compactors. You can also find them in equipment trader magazines.
