It might come with an SAE3 adapter and then it will bolt upto a spicer 3053 then a flywheel & clutch & your done. I think nhdiesel is doing this too.I was wondering if the 4bt out of a tractor would work for a pickup? I have a tractor salvage yard thats close by and possibly has that engine. I'm looking to put the engine in a 2wd F150 with a 5 speed. Didn't know if there were any major differences between the ag and road use engines. Any info is appreciated. Thanx, Casey
That sounds like it would cost a LOT.
Well that depends, if his engine comes with a SAE bellhousing which if its from an industrial application it probably does. Then a rebuilt or used spicer 3053 can be had for a reasonable amount then I think the clutch and or flywheel is freightliner FL70 stuff but ask nhdiesel about this as hes doing it I think. Both my cummins engines came with SAE bellhousings the 6BT with a SAE2 and the 4BT with a SAE3 so I could also bolt an Allison AT545 up if I wanted . BTW my NOS spicer was £25 and the SAE bellhousing came with the engine. Any 6bt from a school bus will have a SAE flywheel housing too.
Is that a typo? If not, then you "STOLE" it! (found in a little old lady's barn?)
Well I wasn't sure if I was going to use it but for £25 I thought it was worth the risk:grinpimp: I remember reading somewhere that nhdiesel paid $73 for his. Hopefully nhdiesel will chime in and give us all a better insight. To me it would be ideal as he only wants 2wd. BTW I bought the spicer off ebay in the UK and it didn't cost me anything for shipping as I had a friend who lived very near to where it was pick it up and he dropped it off for me when he was passing a few months later.
That's cheap. You won't find deals like that in Texas. Everyone wants an arm and a leg for everything here.
where's elm mott? I can sell you as many C4 cores as you WANT for $100 a throw! I used to get them for $40 a piece in the Dallas area
Used to. Anymore, all I can find are 80's era AOD's.
Jim, do you have any pics and more info on this? Possibly start a new thread I certainly would be interested as I has a 4BT and a spicer 3053 and not sure exactly what clutch flywheel I need.
It is 230lbs, if you used a sae3 bell it is slightly smaller than a dodge. The one in the jpmagazine used a truck bell and flywheel and yes that one is huge.
