Looks like yes. He was asking the same I am back in 2015... probably says I'm asking too little, but whatever. $1500 out the door. https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/b-2b-3b-turboglide-kit-for-40-series.871382/

I don't know. The key isn't the turbo, it's the exhaust manifold. If the port and bolt pattern is the same between a 3B and 2B, then maybe?

Brushed and oiled up.

I'll get back to you shortly. I have a local interested in it. Off the cuff - $1500 shipped, OBO. With the way freight's going from Australia these days, probably saves around $2000 on total cost. Unit has under 30k miles on it. No damage...

Purchased for my BJ70. I sold the truck, kept the turbo kit. Paid $2800 for it brand new. It's in great shape. I leave for Japan in one week. If you want it, send me a PM and we can discuss price. If we do it before I leave, I can get it shipped...

This is what I installed in October.

My choice would be a 13-BT, 14-BT, or 15-BT.

Indeed. I have someone semi-local to me who is interested, but waiting to sell his current truck before he can purchase it.

Agreed, but I don't have time for that unfortunately.

All good. It's early here and I haven't had a full cup of coffee yet.

Again, I understand. I am sorry I understated the nature of the job.

I understand that. But it's not exactly the hell scape I initially thought.

I am going to attempt to source a head gasket for this and get it running. It will still be for sale afterward, obviously adjusted accordingly. So... if someone wants to take this on BEFORE I get the parts and start digging in, now's the time.

Perhaps so. In any case, it's a far better candidate for repair than it was before.

Sounds like it just needs a head gasket

Still for sale, just to be clear. I think this definitely makes things a bit more positive. A rebuild would be far less costly than an engine swap.

Good-ish news. I drained the oil today. It was full of coolant, which told me that the head gasket failed. The reason the engine couldn't turn before is because it was hydro-locked. After removing the fluid, the engine now spins.

Forgot to add that it's also go a Turbo-Glide turbo setup.

Nope.

It's in good shape, but I'm not planning on parting it out yet.

Sure. Like I said, I'll circle back to you if nobody buys.

Thanks. I have a couple interested people locally in the truck. If nothing pans out, I'll circle back to you. Frankly, I'd prefer a factory turbo'd engine like a 13BT or similar, were I to do a swap.

Make sure to Make sure to remove the belts when you do that test. I've had two cars surprise me greatly with this. Totally seized up, wouldn't even budge at all, not even a millimeter. I was convinced the engine was locked up. I cut the...

Excellent advice. I don't think this is the issue based on how it sounded when it stopped, but I'll make 100% certain. Thanks!

Make an offer, man! I'm interested in selling it. You seem to be interested in stirring mud. Cheers!
