What did you pay for it and what tranny are you gonna use?

 

[ridgerunner]

cummins is old school

I agree, and while the 4bt (C) is a great engine I think there's other avenues to be explored.

Good luck in forging a new trail.

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]

Is there an adapter for the NV4500 to Isuzu?

 

[RHINO]

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

 

[DWitcher]

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

 

[n2666s]

and there are tons of Izusus out there the cummins are getting very rare around here;

[RHINO]

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

 

[inkpot]

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

 

[DWitcher]

I think 126hp.

 

[3jvj]

Foot Pounds? three times that?

 

[DWitcher]

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

 

[RHINO]

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

 

[DWitcher]

Any update?

 

[RHINO]

[DWitcher]
