Project: Turbo 250 - Page 27 - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I have a lot of time and research and resources into this project, however I feel as though I would be happier with the low end performance of the diesel. As well as the fuel economy. If anyone is interested in the motor, ignition, fueling and turbo/ exhaust system with the the transmission and clutch assy. make me an offer.

I thought that was your engine i saw on ebay! man if only i had the money... hate to hear it go i stalked that build big time.

longbed67 · 06-22-2014, 11:54 AM

Yes the engine is up for sale. I picked up a 4BT cummins yesterday and am backing it with an NV4500. If I had $10 for every time I heard "if I only had the money" the engine would be sold right now lol no joke, I have received so many calls and emails about it stating they had followed the build and hated to see me sell it, but $3500 is a steal for that setup... even though I am going to lose my tail on the inline 6 I had fun with the build and enjoyed it, now its time for me to play with this little diesel!

If you were local I'd consider it, but i admit i enjoy doing my own build too.

JustCallMeDrew · 08-15-2014, 07:03 PM

Any updates....also i was wondering if you could give me a parts list and a price estimate of turboing a 250 just the necessities!

PushnFords · 09-30-2014, 05:30 PM

Did you get the engine sold?

**Palf70Step** · 03-16-2016, 05:10 AM

Nice, very nice.

longbed67 · 04-16-2018, 11:02 AM

Well time for the next motor. The little 4bt wasn't quite enough for me. I am currently building a 12 valve. More details of the motor specs coming.

longbed67 · 04-16-2018, 09:34 PM

Motor/ trans is capable of putting some serious power to the ground (over 1000hp with the propane injection secondarys) but will be keeping it de-tuned to keep it clean and see what kind of fuel economy I can get. Going to shoot for around 400hp and 850 lb ft of torque

mjensen · 04-17-2018, 10:33 PM

Is it done yet?

Sounds like a great powerplant!

**clay68c10** · 04-18-2018, 03:28 PM

That’s gonna be stout!
What about the 4bt wasn’t working for you? Not enough power?

68Gold/white · 05-15-2018, 09:42 AM

Job well done!!!
I've always thought a Cummins would be cool in a street driven pickup. A friend had one in a 3/4 ton. He took out the original 6.2.
