3B-T (rebuilt with turbo) for sale****SOLD*****

[lumpy70]

I am selling my rebuilt, turbo-ed 3B.

New rebuild kit, head magnafluxed and decked, new pre-cups, new injectors, new seals and bearings.

Can be heard running, and it sounds sweet.

Compression is 425-430 psi across the board.

Turbo is a Garrett T3 off of a Lebaron mounted to a 13B-T manifold.

Truck is 12 volt.

Engine can be seen and heard running here:

$4000 for the engine.

I spent $3200 on the rebuild, and $1200 on the turbo, so I think the price is pretty fair.

Why are you selling it? Getting rid of the truck or putting in something bigger??

 

[lumpy70]

I have a BJ74 now. The body of the 70 was pretty bad, and it was never going to be straight, rust free, or leak free.

Over the years I spent all of my efforts redoing the mechanical because the cosmetic was a lost cause.

Would a 3bt be enough power for a troopy? My troopy started out life with a 2h, but somewhere along the way it was converted to a 2f. I'd love to get a diesel back in it, I just don't know anything about them.

 

[lumpy70]

I'd say so, but I'm trying to sell it. I'd ask others on this list for a reference, just to cover my ass.

But in short, I believe that it would be great.

Would you consider crating the engine/H55/transfer and shipping to the U.S.? I'm looking a for a diesel powerplant to put in my fj60. This looks like exactly what I'm looking for! I'm in Colorado and I'm sure I could arrange the shipping. Anyones thoughts or recommendations welcome.

Hi lumpy 70 would you be interested in selling your turbo seperate. live in
Edmonton could drive down.

 

[lumpy70]

Sorry, but the turbo on the rebuilt 3B is what makes this engine. They need to travel together.

[okefenokeefzj80]

Any chance of shipping? Or is this a pick up deal only?

 

[lumpy70]

I'll ship to anywhere...COD of course.

I'd say the troopy is roughly the same weight as a 60 series, which were greatly underpowered and happily benefited from a turbo (I've driven a couple).

I'd be interested in just the engine. (My BJ42 already has a turbo kit that I think I can swap over.) Would you be willing to split it up?

 

[Texas bj-42]

Great... all I need is the turbo and manifold

Can we work out a broken pruchase?

I'd say what makes the engine really marketable is the turbo combination with the rebuild.

I don't really want to split them up.

Craig.

 

[lumpy70]

OK, well if it's already lined up for a broken purchase (assuming that I can be 100% sure that both will sell) then I'd do that.

$3000 and $1000 sound good?

Craig.

 

[Texas bj-42]

The price is fine...

I would like to talk to you about the turbo before making a commitment. Please call of fwd a number.

What year is the engine? I want to be sure it will bolt right up in my 1982 BJ42.

 

[lumpy70]

The 3B from my 1985 BJ70 is a direct bolt up to a 1982 BJ42 mount wise. The bellhousing is different (and therefore the starter) but both are included with my engine.
