Re: Ls3 vs. 4bt Cummins
I didn’t vote because I’m not driving yet, but pretty much went through this same thing minus the drop member part. I’ve read of 1 or 2 guys on here that went 4bt and didn’t like it so went duramax, who knows their setup or the health of the engine for them to not have like it though.
Im just getting ready to drop my p-pump 4bt into my 69, hopefully be driving mid nov. I chose 4bt because I don’t want any extra electronics, it’s a summer driver, noise doesn’t bother me, and it will be way different. Semi built 4bt with properly sized compounds, moderately fueled and pump dialed in should be more then enough. I’m sure you could get creative with the oil pan if you go that route.
It’s all in your expectations and wether or not you’re at all familiar with diesels, don’t expect an easy 400 hp out of the little cummins either. Check out 4bt swaps, they aren’t too heavy in the hp chasing over there, but a few have taken them pretty far.
