4bt Cummins swap

Ok guys I’m new to this page and I’m about to go pick up a 4bt cummins motor from a guy and I’m looking for what axles is the best and what trans is the best!!! Let me know please and it will not be used to rock climb or anything like that it will be built to go fast trying to make real good HP and drag raced!!!!I DRIVE A 2003 Toyota Tacoma single cab

 

Had a discussion where some said the a340 was capable of mounting up to it, while back....axle setup will depend on what you plan to do because after the engine its probably all custom.

 

Buddy a 4bt isn't a "go fast motor" skip the diesel junk and do a ls swap

 

Is a front leaf front end or a front spring front end more popular?

 

No I wanna go fast in a 4bt is what I’m saying‍♂️‍♂️

 

both seem to be popular, we have a couple members here who have done sas swaps using both methods. Please see build section.

 

Well, this seems like a very thought out build.

 

Are you just trolling? I get the feeling this 4BT will see a scrapyard before it sees your engine bay.

 

I'm picking up what you putting down, but trying to make a motor that's built for low end power go fast isn't really gonna work. Not trying to crush your dreams of a 10 second pickup truck but there's really much better options than a 4bt for what your trying to accomplish.

 

Slow diesel+Solid axle = race truck?

 

troll thread I guess but the answers are there.

 

@LIL_Huke You're gonna have a heck of a time getting that thing going fast. The motor alone weighs 800 lbs... https://www.drivingline.com/articles/39l-cummins-engine-4bt-diesel-pros-cons/

I'm sure it can be done lots or resources but you'll spend a small fortune vs LS. Good luck.

 

I would like to have the time back that I wasted reading this troll thread.

 

Yes

 

Ok guys I’m not saying race truck I’m saying make people think wtf dose that dude have under the hood and why, bc I love to do stupid shit, I just love the looks I get

 

well you're a pioneer in this department so you might be on your own. Thats why swap like this requires you to have some experience in using thought process.

 

If your exhaust isn't a metal trash can welded into the bed with a Cummins sticker on it, we will all be very very disappointed.

 

YEE YEE MAN

 

OP's post definitely doesn't add up, but I've always wanted to see a Cummins in a Tacoma, that'd be pretty sweet. I'd rather see the R2.8 though.

 

Alright here's what you wanna do to get all those high school girls jumping through your windows.

Head over to sinister diesel and get them to build you a coal rolling tire smoking liberal eating cummins motor.

Swap that bitch into your taco, hood stacks are mandatory for this don't forget the hood stacks. Also a Cummins decal for the rear window, Cummins windshield banner is optional.

Drive around knowing your the baddest of the bad.

Profit.
