Re: project pacific wonder
What did you source your 4bt out of? Is there another build page on here that shows more of the transplant into the burb? I love the idea of a 4bt, I have been looking to put one in my 64K10 short bed. I have had a hard time finding a good used 4bt out of a truck. Is yours from a tractor or piece of equipment? What did you have to do to make it work properly for your application? Where did you source your conversion parts from? How well does your 4bt work in your burb as an everyday driver? Love the whole build!

Re: project pacific wonder
we found it in some warehouse in california, from the bread trucks.
this is my build thread, it is still not complete but i hope to have some pics of the new mounts and hopefully any other progress. I have a diesel mech/machinist doing the install for me. He has done twenty some conversions.

Re: project pacific wonder
Tested the electrical for the first time almost one year after i made my first connection.
it had a ghost but quickly went away when i shorted the courtesy light.

Re: project pacific wonder

Re: project pacific wonder
That's me (doing one). It will come out of hibernation when the Minx is done.
By the way, I'd vote for two rows of buddy buckets. That's the sweet setup on burbs/tahoes |

Re: project pacific wonder
the front axle is also in place
time to install the skid plate and finallize the fuel lines and fuel pump wire harness also have the mounting bracket and serpentine tensioner i purchased the vintage air ac kit and the compressor it came with will be a challenge to fit into the place we need to put it so we have decided to go with a dodge AC compressor instead
