[QUOTE="RangerRick, post: 428896, member: 19360"] I sourced them from a guy who regularly parts out bread & chip step-vans on ebay and elsewhere. Please note that this was several years ago and the prices are somewhat more than when I purchased them 7 or 8 [I]years [/I]ago. Yeah, one was sitting in the crate for a while in my work shop. The sellers name is Chad McKinney and he has a company called Quick Draw LLC. He has a store on ebay and a website on adapters for diesel swaps. He also sold one of the 4BT's to one of the popular 4x4 magazines that used it for a Jeep swap article in the past. They wrote about sourcing the engine from Chad in the article. The trucks mine came from, the motors were Cummins re-power program installed about 64 to 80K miles prior to scrapping, according to the paperwork & odometers on these step-vans, so G.T.G. for another 300K. Not all of his engines have documented mileage though, many are just an estimate on condition as the step-vans were scrapped prior to his company obtaining the engines, so ask him if it is important to you. He sent links to videos of the engines running on test stands prior to shipping them out. The videos were showing serial number plate, oil pressure, blow-by & soot etc. Things you want to know when buying used motors. Both engines were excellent runners and were bought with all of the needed accessories already attached. That was with the SAE bellhousing adapters and flywheels that I wanted. The starter, flywheel or flex plate, the alternator, the fan and belts etc. the turbo with manifolds all mounted already. You can choose front or rear sump as the oil pan is symmetric in its design and can be reversed for front [I]or [/I]rear sump applications if it is in the wrong location when you receive the engine. I will try to post a pic soon of how the 4BT looked as received and I first opened the crate up. RR [/QUOTE]
