[QUOTE="Chris, post: 425124, member: 1"] I'll be honest, my only issue with the 4BT (aside from how much it weighs) is how loud it is. I took a ride in a TJ with a 4BT swap, and with the top and doors off sitting at a stop light, it practically rattled my fillings out and I was sick of it after 10 minutes. I'd like the best of both worlds. A quieter diesel (like the new ones), but also one without all the emission bullshit that eventually fails. I'd also like an older diesel that is easier to work on with less stuff too break. There's so many diesels out there that it's hard to pick which one would be right. I'm with you on swapping in an engine, but do you think a 350 with carbs would really take that much effort to put in a YJ? Novak and AA sell all the adapters, and the wiring would be minimal at best. I'll have to look into it more, but it seems like it could be way easier than putting let's say a Hemi or a newer LS engine into a TJ. Maybe I'm wrong. [/QUOTE]
