Good luck in forging a new trail.

RHINO · 05-23-07, 08:19 PM

dwitcher: 3K and i'm really sticking my neck out with an R150 tranny, we'll see how it holds up, im not an NV4500 fan and wanted to try something that hopefully will be a much nicer driver.

rigderunner: agreed, 4BT is a great engine, but there are smoother quiter and more efficient engines out there, like the isuzu. i dont need the hard hitting torque curve of the cummins, something stong but smooth of powerband fits my driving style. i was soooo close to doing a mercedes engine but i have spent many a night dreaming of the isuzu engine and just have to try it.

DWitcher · 05-23-07, 09:28 PM

Is there an adapter for the NV4500 to Isuzu?

RHINO · 05-24-07, 04:25 AM

sorta, theres an adapter to make the isuzu look like a SBC.

DWitcher · 05-24-07, 08:25 AM

Ah..........Who make this adapter?

n2666s · 05-24-07, 09:44 AM

and there are tons of Izusus out there

the cummins are getting very rare around here;

Lou

RHINO · 05-24-07, 02:58 PM

some dude in florida, its based off the old Phx adapter that took the SAE bellhousing to GM style. isuzudieselswapper.com.

inkpot · 05-24-07, 04:50 PM

Howdy! Neat. What are the numbers on the Isuzu: hp, torque, rpm range, etc. I don't know diddly about them. John

DWitcher · 05-24-07, 06:41 PM

I think 126hp.

3jvj · 05-24-07, 09:37 PM

Foot Pounds? three times that?

DWitcher · 05-24-07, 11:45 PM

It's been awhile since I worked on a 4bd but I wanna say 270ish on torque.

RHINO · 05-25-07, 04:21 AM

126hp @ 2500rpm, 270 lb ft @ 1800 rpm. or so they say.

DWitcher · 05-27-07, 01:08 AM

Any update?

RHINO · 05-27-07, 09:15 AM

not yet, as usual i'm waiting on marlin. i dont know why i get parts from everyone else in a week or less but marlins average for me is 3 weeks. otherwise i have just been getting the engine bay and related stuff cleaned and sorted.

DWitcher · 05-27-07, 08:33 PM

Marlin for me is usally 2 days after order

.

RHINO · 05-27-07, 09:01 PM

i wish i was so lucky, when i did the doubler the first time it was 2 months before i was back on the road, and i did the install over a w/e,,,,,,, just happened to be the last one. but, it has always been worth the wait, marlin has good stuff.

you going to SNT? i'll have the toyazuta on the beach

DWitcher · 05-27-07, 09:30 PM

I had a week to prep my friends topless '70 fj55 for last years SNT. While working on his I decided I have one of my own so I found a '68 on ebay for $500. I won the 68 that weekend while we were at SNT. After driving his all weekend there I knew I had to have for '07.

BTW what's the date for '07?

RHINO · 05-27-07, 10:40 PM

november 2-4, ive already signed up. been wanting to do SNT for a couple years now, finally got it on the calendar. had to choose between the deer valley pig run or SNT, hard choice cause i want to run rubicon before its closed, hopefully that wont happen anytime soon.

DWitcher · 05-28-07, 01:04 AM

Hard choice if they closed the rubi but........... Hands down SNT!

RHINO · 06-10-07, 09:20 AM

yeah i know, i'm slow but thats cause i have been waiting an unaceptably long time for parts. but i have it all now and progress will commence.

overall shot of new drivetrain:
engine, dieselswapper adapter, AAbellhousing adapter, 5 speed, 4.7 toybox, and 4 speed case.

and a shot of the bracket i made for the tcase shifter, as you can see it will come up next to the tranny shifter and the toybox shifter right behind it.

RHINO · 06-10-07, 03:45 PM

looks good in there

DWitcher · 06-10-07, 03:46 PM

WOW!

redcorn · 06-10-07, 06:21 PM

oh yeah......................................

:b eer:

72cruiser · 06-11-07, 10:25 AM

looks great...glad that thing is goin in a 55.

if i put that combo in my 40, i could use the tcase as a rear bumper, ha ha

haven't read up much on the isuzu...i assume the "T" in 4BD1T is for turbo? are you goin to toss an intercooler into the mix as well?

malphrus

RHINO · 06-11-07, 03:44 PM

yeah i wanted the length, F/R driveshafts are the same length now so i can carry one spare for either end.

intercooler is not high on the list, its a solid maybe.

just for reference, the oil pan gasket is level with the bottom of the frame in that pic, the engine is now 2" higher in its permanent locale, lots more vertical room than a cummins. and before anyone asks, i'll be posting a few more detail pics shortly.
