4 cylinder cummins ??

[nathan04]

I have been kicking around the idea of putting a 4 cylinder cummins in my jeep. I am wondering how much horsepower that motor will safley handle. I mean 400-500rwhp. Is that too much for that motor. Also which manual tranny would work good with my set up. It will used as a toy, not an everyday driver.
thanks

Nope...500 has been done easily...800hp has been done, maybe more!

do a search for '4bt', that's what Cummins uses

Build it right and it will last quite a while.

Yea we have two case skidloaders and 580 backhoes. They are great engines. We have never had the first problem with any of them. I think I can find an engine fairly easy. I have been watching craiglist and ebay. Thanks again for all the comments guys.

there a few builds on the net--they had to do major mods to the body.

Mainly in the firewall and tunnel area-with a bolt in style tunnel.
