A 4BT is a 6BT just with two cylinders lopped off to make it a 4 banger 3.9 liter.

4bt is to small for a k5 im guessing. what has a 4bt anyway. admittedly I dont know much about diesels. i never even fooled around with em until about 4 months ago when i bought mine. but i dont remember ever seeing any truck with less than 6 cyl cummins. tractors? cars?
thanks

a lot of box vans used the 4bt, it would be well suited for a fullsize truck IMO. they use the same parts as the 6bt, so they can be hopped up if you deem it necessary. They weigh in the neighborhood of 750 lbs or so, which is more appealing than the 1100-1200 of a 6bt.

As for what has 4 cylinder diesels....I have a 86hp ford tractor with a 4 banger ford diesel. My 580SE Case backhoe has a 4 banger in it and I am curious to find out if it's a 4bt, I know it's a cummins. I will look tommorrow.
I am actually interested in putting our spare 6 cylinder 6.8 litre John Deere engine in our gas powered service truck.

So what the dimensions and weight of a 4bt? Also, what kind of power #'s? And does CAT make a similar engine to a 4bt?

Non intercooled is 105hp/285-300 tq, intercooled is 120hp and 320 tq. Weighs about 750 pounds. I dont recall the exact dimensions off the top of my head.
Its what i plan on swapping into my K5 to replace my 6.2, backed by either a sm465 or nv4500. Mildly built of course /forums/images/graemlins/thumb.gif

Simple,
1. It turns 2400RPM's ( a stock 12V 6BT only turns 2500) and it can easily be turned up.
2. I think it's a #1 bellhousing which means it should bolt up to a standard Allison auto. /forums/images/graemlins/waytogo.gif
I love John Deere engines and bet they are just as tough or tougher than a 6BT.

#1 is that must be one of those SAE bellhousings someone on here was talking about?
I plan on an nv4500 and a diesel.. which one probably depends on what i run into in the right price range.
i would definaltey like to see it if you do it.
