[Robertl67]

Engine cost $400 everything else was done by me nd a buddy and absolutely 0 motivators in our favor everyone we know said it's impossible for us to do
1985 k1500 GMC high Sierra swapped Isuzu 6 cylinder turbo diesel with an adapter plate to a Ford process transmission which came out of a Ford f150 with the inline 6 300 motor but please drop that out the motor came out of a motorhome it was fun the hardest thing I've ever

Isuzu 4BD2T diesel swap into Suburban

Ive been gathering parts and now its time to dive in. I'll be installing an Isuzu 4bd2t 4cyl into my 1994 Suburban. I removed the 6.5 diesel today. Im hopeing to have better performance than the 6.5 and get close to 30mpg. The 4bd2's are sourced from the Isuzu NPR trucks and the Chevy W4000...

I did a Isuzu 4bdt2 swap in my old Suburban (have a thread in the forum about it). Those are really nice engines. The 6 cylinder I bet is a beast or could be made into one. The 4 cylinder was massive and weighed as much as a 6.5!

Old guy that is now deceased, He had a Dodge class C motorhome, pulled out the big block and stuffed a 6 cylinder isuzu into it. That thing would pull the steepest hills with ease, got good fuel mileage too.
He took the V8 out of his old ford 3/4 ton. Installed a four cylinder reefer trailer diesel into that. It was not real fast but a tank of fuel would last a very long time.
