Hi , I noticed that David from isuzudieselswapper has put his truck on ebay http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/e...RK:MEWA:IT&viewitem=&item=220130787452&rd=1,1 I would like to have it but cant afford it right now, I plan on building a mid 90s chevy 1/2 ton 4wd , standard cab short bed with an isuzu diesel. I need to finish a couple other things first and hope to start getting stuff together for the truck swap after new years. Anyway thanks or the info on here and whenever I get started on my stuff I will post. Later, Dave

That's too bad for him, BTDT and it sucks.
Looking at the pictures though, that engine looks like it came in there from GM.
PS: All negative comments about GM (by me) will be withheld at this time out of respect for David and his situation. :rasta:

One thing that's always confused me about that truck.
You can clearly see the 4BD2 cast into the engine block in this picture.

Yet he keeps calling it a 4BD1T, even in the ad. I can't tell from the outside of the head whether it's a 4BD1T direct injection head or not. the injectors look exactly like my 4BD1T ones, but I don't have 4BD2 ones to compare.
The differences between the engines are minor apart from the injection and I imagine the heads would be swappable (maybe not without some work).

I'm considering bidding on the truck.
One major concern (I have several), is how will the crank to flywheel/bellhousing adaptor hold up over time and miles. Like 10years or so and 100k miles down the road,
Anyone have experance here.
Also, got a lot of concern on vehicle inspection issues on a late model like this.
Thanks, RJR
