cj7 4bt cummins swap
« on: August 07, 2011, 11:06:18 pm »
Hi, wondering if anyone has any info on doing a 4bt cummins swap in a cj7. I am thinking of doing this swap and dont know much about these motors or what kind of trans they will bolt to. I am looking for better mpg. My 285 has a crack in the block and i think a diesal swap might be cool.

who was the guy at the show putting mercedis diesels in jeeps, could be done for less than 2 grand.
build it, beat it, break it, fix it, repeat

That would be cool to. I saw him but i wasnt really thinking about the diesal swap then.I just want a diesal that i can get to blow some smoke sometimes and get good mpg. Doesnt matter to me what type.
