Oh....just saw that you sold the vehile and it had an auto....trying to find someone running this combo with an nv4500. That rear downward manifold wont work with an nv4500 or at least mine. Engine is too far towards the firewall.

William839....you are running an nv4500, 4bt, and air conditioning? Could you snap a pic sometime of the engine bay? Thanks, Fred

Did you have to use the 100 series rear housing also or just the carrier. I'm assuming they go together. I'm already on the hunt for one.

Very nice! I have a 4bt nv4500 setup and have been in the same boat with the high rpms. Guess i need to start looking for a 100 series carrier. As far as the clearancing was that just done with a grinder im assuming?

That's what I'm running now. I made it from a 6bt manifold putting the exhaust dump in the center. I know people have run an hx30 on this with an AUTO transmission which apparently let's the engine move a little forward. Unfortunately the nv4500 won't let you move anymore forward. I already...

Does anyone out there have or know of the following combination: Cummins 4bt, NV4500 AND working ac in an 80 series? I know there are a lot of 4bt 80s with auto transmission and also 4bt nv4500 60 series combinations but I cannot find anyone with nv4500 4bt 80 series running air conditioning...

.....it does have a tailgate, just not in the picture.

I have a custom built trailer that I built a few years ago and sadly no longer use. It was built from a humvee trailer, the tounge, axle etc. I built the rest with steel and aluminum diamond plate. The inside is 4x8. I use to camp in it with the kids and a folding cot will also fit with room to...

I have a Smittybuilt roof top tent that I bought about a year ago from 4Wheel Drive Parts for somewhere around $1200. It has not been slept in at all....not a single time. I put it on my cruiser and my 10 year old played in it in the yard a time or two when i first put it up and unfortunately I...

I have at least three of these military Hardigg Pelican cases that i thought i would post here locally. I have used them for some heavy duty missions over the years with everything from sensitive electronics to dive gear. They are stackable and can be sinched down to roof racks, thrown in a boat...

Here is a pic of the rig from a few weeks back...

I used a master/slave combo for a Dodge NV4500. 2nd gen Dodge. Something like $100 from Rock Auto. Pre-bled and replaceable in minutes. I built a clutch pedal "bucket" after searching everywhere for a factory one. Super simple really, piece of plate steel (hole in center for slave) and two...

I'll chime in since it seems like most of the 4bt chat seems to have tapered off in the past few years. I bought a 1993 80 solely for the purpose of putting a 4bt in it. I bought an engine, nv4500, and 60 series transfer case before i even had the 80. I went through every bit of it replacing...

Haha, yes, unfortunately i ended up with additional holes in mine before the final solution. I ended up having to fab an entire clutch pedal bracket/bucket because i could not find an 80 series bracket after searching everywhere. I didnt realize you had a valair bracket and i also see we may...

I knocked those bolts out and welded it to my backing plate. There may be a slight angle to it also to match the apparently angled dodge firewall. I just shimmed under one side to make it level or perpendicular to the land cruiser firewall.
