Got a 4bt mounted to a tranny on a new chassis. 1947 Chevy truck. Got all the body panels, bed, etc. but missing pedals, fuel tank, lines, and pump, wiring from battery to alternator and starter, wires for brake lights/turn signals/headlights etc, exhaust, driveshaft, and a few other bits and bobs… never done an engine swap or anything really more than brakes, but I’m mechanically inclined and good around cars and such. What all would be required to start the motor do you think? Not sure if I have the p pump or the other one… not sure if the starter or the turbo is good… at this point I’m not even sure if it’s locked up or not. It did come out of a skid steer like yours. Had it sitting at a local diesel & automotive shop for 5 years after he put the motor, trans, and cab onto a brand new 2500 chassis, extended by a few feet from the original. Bed is from a 49 Chevy long bed iirc. Got all the parts, just need to put them together. What tips would you have?
Make sure it has oil, a fuel supply, and a battery to run the starter. That should be it and you can crank it on the ground with chain holding with engine hoist so it doesn't flip over 🤭🤣
Great video, hope to see you post more about your build! I've swapped a 4bt in to a 01 ranger and that truck was a LOT of fun, now the same engine is sitting in a squarebody suburban. You will really like the F150 with the little 3.9L. Look for a HX30 turbo, will be a HUGE improvement over the H1C that should be on it now. What gear ratio are you running in your axles? I had 2.74 in my ranger so I could get it up to 70-75mph on the interstate without reving it sky high.
Not sure on turbo the engine cane out of a skidsteer that caught fire. Had to replace turbo. It off Amazon 🤣 and whatever the factory ratio for the 4 speed. Haven't looked that deep yet. But will be uploading over weekend.
@@raheemcruse25 Nice to see another brother doing this kinda of work, I’m about to start a project similar to this. Did you rebuild the motor after it came out of that burned up skid steer?

@@skyraiderjet no. New starter and turbo was all.
