Any one ever put a 4 cylinder diesel in an XJ, if so what kind?

 

Yes. Go to youtube and search "cummins comanche".

 

Ive also seen the CRD 4cyl diesel out of the liberty swapped it.

 

Also there is adapter plates for swapping in mercedes 5 cyl greasers

 

Friend of mine and I put a Benz 5 cyl turbo diesel in an s10 and run cooking oil in it. There's a bid on YouTube of one in an xj

 

I would love a Cumins 4bt, converted to run off bio.

 

ive seen 1 4bt cummins in an xj thats about it, it can be done but since the xj is a unibody tourqe is a problem to worry about twisting the unibody but if you dont go too crazy on power it usually isnt a problem. Im not too knowledged on the subject but thats my $.02

 

Or just find on that was a smoker from the factory.

 

Everything is so backwards!

 

VW diesel would be a viable option. I converted my Vanagon to diesel a few years ago and that pig weighed twice what the xj does.

 

Another option.

Awsome site with a lot of potential.
Just a little pricy for me though.
There has got to be an easier answer that the 4bt or the VW route.
Has anyone used a stationary powerplant diesel?
Like the ones found in generators or even marine engines?
What engines are used in all those UPS trucks running around?

 

UPS trucks I believe are Cummings so 4bt. How can a swap be easier than a 4bt swap? Several companies make adapters for transmissions. how would you attach a generator to a trans?

 

If your dropping in a 4btpositive frame stiffinging should not be a problem.

Its not a 4cyl in a UPS truck, so its not a 4bt. Maybe a 6, but sure isn't a 4.

Not true ive seen at least 3 different ups trucks with 4bt's in them. Some have 6bts too but the have deffinitley put 4bt's in them.
