Anyone heard anything about people throwing these in a jeep? I have seen a couple pop up on CL in the last couple months. Just wondering they seem to be about the same as the 4bt but significantly cheaper.

john deere 4239 or 239ci 4 cylinder turbo diesel, it is a 3.9L around 120 hp, similar to 4039, 4276, 219, and 276 engine

 

nobody?

 

Would one of those pass emissions?

 

never heard of it. there are some websites i know that talk about diesel swaps into jeeps. Check out oilburners forum.

Be the first one on CF to do it!

 

How much cheaper than a 4bt?

 

Yeah How Much Cheaper? Thats very Interesting, Never heard it.

 

alot....a cummins motor is $$$

 

the first one I saw on CL was 1,500$ needed a rebuild. The second one I saw was 2,500 all rebuilt and painted....BUT I looked for it in google and farm supply/tractor repair places are selling them for 3-5k so, Buying it from a store would be the same as buying a 4bt from a private seller.

 

Did you end up doing this diesel conversion with the join deere motor?
