What is that motor out of?

 

interesting...

 

and this is to tow a boat?

 

Cool swap!

Any reason you didn't want to do the easier 6bt cummins/nv4500(or nv5600/g56) swap either?
Only weighs close to big block weight and still decent power.

There was a guy on here that swapped a 4bt into a tahoe, might have insight on hooking up for gauges, dont think he messed with using the OEM gauges though.

 

My buddy is a diesel tech for caterpillar. He says those motors were also used in fishing boats. Says they are slow and eat fuel but could tow anything imaginable.

I think its a cool swap. Doesn't mean its practical but its definitely cool

 

custm2500 glad to see you around again, good to see your still thinking outside of the normal box, but too far in the dumb box..

 

Seriously...why not a Duramax/Allison? More power, less weight, less work, electronics are compatible, tons of aftermarket support, can still tow anything you can throw at it....unless you enjoy making everything 10x more difficult?
