Howdy all,
great site here, much easier to use than the old yahoo groups.
The Nissan SD-33 in the CJ-7 (which I swapped in from an international Scout) has been a nice motor for the past 3 years, but it's signature start up smoke, lack of power, and no overdrive have prompted a change.
Searching around ebay, I found a few 4BT's; everything from "for core" units to new ones for $5,500. So I came across this one, which was re listed from a previous auction by same seller at $2,300 for $2,500.

I spoke to the seller for quite a while on the phone, who sounded like a really honest guy, and intended to install this in a CJ8.
The auction comes with a NV4500 adapter plate, flywheel, and bell housing, this coupled with an engine that has only 60K on the rebuild seemed like a good deal. The seller said it is set up for an internal slave
which he prefers over external? Any help clearing up would be great.
Now to find a NV4500, any good sources?
Thanks,
John
