Cummins 4BT

Does anyone know where to find the 4BT engines? I think it would be an awesome motor for any project. Also, about how much do they run?(for price)

Depending on location 1-2K is very low for around here.

2500-3200 is more the norm for a complete unit with adapters, etc.

Check on Fleabay, usually several there.

around portland oregon there always seems to be a 4bt bread truck or two on craigslist. I've seen the running trucks from about $1500-3000.

they are great little engines I got mine out of a bread truck and it was in a chevy c30 chassis hooked up to a chevy 4sp so it made my swap really simple as I put it in a 86 silverado 4X4 you'll be suprised at the power they have,I got mine for $1500 and scrapped out the rest for $800 it had an alumium body,good luck
