4 bta sources

I purchased mine at Adlemans in Akron Ohio.I got to choose,hear it run and were very good to deal with.I walked down thru and grabbed hold of throttle shafts till I found a tight one.They brought a cart with batteries,fuel and an oil pressure gauge and ran it for me.I was told that they do ship.

I was driving through a commercial/industrial part of town and saw a P30 cummins for sale......sometimes that works too

Where are you in Canada? I have two good rebuildable cores. Both ran when removed, just smoked a little to much at start up to be sold as good running motors. I also have a freight liner with a 4bt and Allison 4 speed auto. What exactly are you looking for?

 

[Woody Long]

I'm also looking for a 6BT or a 4BT in Alberta.

this place just came for new engines in another thread, they do have an address in Canada http://www.rj-performance.com/dodgef.html

Edit: ignore this post, dude's a liar and a fraud from the looks of it.

I'm in Terrace B.C, which is in the northwest part of British Columbia and not to far from Hyder Alaska. Thanks for the help.

Rebuildable Cores

Bill, How do you know your engines are rebuidable? I bought one off ebay that was "a good running engine with 36k miles", it had two scored cylinders that scrapped the block and a cracked head. Could I pull the head off and look before I bought it? I too am looking for a good 4bt long block in Alberta. Thanks Al

67truckguy,

I figure the core is rebuildable because it ran good but had a lot of blow-by. That being said, I have two core motors, so if one was bad, we could try the other. I have no problem with a close inspection as long as everything get put back on. I could also take the core to a Cummins mechanic and have them inspect it (on your dime).

I am easy to work with!

Bill

When I was looking for a 4bt, I found 3 places in Alberta that had them. All are farm equipment recyclers. Prices went from $3000.00 for a used runner to $6000.00 for a rebuilt. These are tractor engines, not automotive, so I'm not sure how they'd work in a truck. I bought 2 used runners from a yard in Wisconson, and had them shipped to me for a little more than the used one I found here.

I guess the Frito-Lay step van weren't as popular in Canada as all the step vans I find out here are running 6.2 chevy's or Isuzu diesels.
