I don't see it happening. Not positive.

4 cyl motor with a 6 cyl pump? Why not just do some mods to the pump the 4BT comes with? It can make power pretty easy!

4 Bt

You can not put a 6bt p7100 on a 4bt as the cam that works the injector plungers has the wrong degree setting 120 deg. as compared to 90 deg. for a 4 cylinder. The good news is that bosch made some P7100 pumps for the 4bt less than 2% of total production is the 4 cylinder P7100 pump so good luck finding one. Hope this helps Bill

Yes there are P pumped 4bts around. If you have more questions on the 4bt try 4btswaps.com it's a pretty good group that focuses prmarily on those motors. Lots of swaps going on. There is someone on there that has done a 4bt swap into a dodge durango.

You could use everything from a 6BT P7100 except the pump, and they come up on Ebay enough that it wouldn't really be a challenge, just expensive.

4BTswaps.com is the place!
