Charlie,

Tomorrow (Monday) call Tony or Brad @ Seaboard Marine, Oxnard CA.

Seaboard Marine - Custom Marine Diesel Repower Specialists

Seaboard is owned by Tony Athens, a Cummins marine engine specialist.
He's very well versed in the 4BTA/6BTA family. Seaboard is one of the largest Cummins marine dealerships in North America.

Remember, the 4BTA is a great little engine. Not as many produced as it's big brother the 6BTA so pricing may be a bit "different" due to low production.

FWIW, Bill D

Thank you im shure it cant cost more then the industrial injection coated ones ive been looking at 1200 for four of them and ther 17.1 comp

Charlie,

You posted this question over on boatdiesel I think.
You are a "cornhusker", live in the midwest ?
Been nurning up these little 4 bangers with nitrous injection ??

Are you drag racing this little diesel out there or you running your "tractor" extra fast ???

 

[charles vanvleet]

Kinda both making my old truck into a tractor that pulls the race car to the the drag strip
Funny thing is the truck is almost as fast as the car and sumtimes the car breaks early in the day and i want to use my truck to finish the race because i am a points racer and have to race something even if its moms car

And for the tractor part i am converting my cab from a 84 chevy to a 1980 peterbuit 359 cab and front clip and when the county fair truck pull comes around i bolt the biglug ag tires on the duals and pull the sled

Starting the cab swap after engine rebuild
