Wondering if a liberty diesel swap would even be worth a thought?

 

would like to know too, bump

 

I'd look into a cummins 4 cylinder turbo diesel can't remember engine code it's like 3bt or sumthin they make a kit for it sumwhere.

 

cummins 4bt. 4btswaps.com

 

x2 on what he said, i was hoping to be the first to post this haha...a 4bt is in the future plans for my xj

 

They did make a XJ with a turbo diesel. They are very to find in the US.
1985-1987 2.1 L Renault turbodiesel I4 (initially sold in U.S. and until 1993 in Europe)
1985-1987 Renault 2.1L 4cyl. Turbo Diesel - 85 hp @ 3750 rpm, 132 ft lb @ 2750 rpm

 

could you fit a 6cyl cumming in a xj

 

That would be a tight squeeze when you consider all the plumbing for air and cooling. I'm sure that its been done or could be done. I would think that you would have to relocate a few items such as battery, washer fluid, cut out AC to move radiator forward, go with electric fans.. ect..

 

Advanced Adapters was doing a kit for this swap. Last I remember it's offered for the XJ, ZJ, TJ and YJ

 

WOW !!!! that looks like a whole lot of work http://www.4btswaps.com/forum/showthread.php?t=9299

 

yea but this guy did an awesome job i think its worth it. i cruise 4btswaps a lot to it has some great info

 

o hell yea i bet its deff worth it in the long run

 

I would love to put a 4BT (4 cylinder cummins) in my CJ6. Were working on the build plans for my neighbors 98XJ. He's planning 4BT, not sure on trans, atlas, HP44 and ford 9" on 35" BFG's, locked and geared at 4.10's with hydaulic steering.

 

i dont know alot about deisel's but what does a 4bt come out of ?

 

That might get messy!
