cweemanrun build

[cweemanrun]

Ok so here it gos the start of the Weeman , I'm turning my 1988 comanch pioneer in to a diesel. 4bt here we go. So went down to the local diesel shop to see if he knew anyone that had a cummins 4bt. well turns out that he just happen to have one in a van that was heading for the scrap yard. I was able to pick it up for around 1200$ in running condion and he was very helpfull with any info need for the swap plus helped with lots of extra parts. He gave me the torq converter for the turbo 400 which i will be using plus a crate of extra part as well. here's some pics of whats been done as of today.

 

here are some of pulling the old 4.0 and the ax15

Clean engine bays should have a warning label associated with them. Gets the blood flowing haha. Great start on this one! Please keep it updated as we all love these types of swaps!

So what was wrong with the 4.0L, what did you do with it?

[cweemanrun]

The 4.0 ran perfect and trans was fine, just have always wanted to do the swap and as the old lady puts it "you just can't leave anything alone can you". So i just bite the bullet and did it. now she really happy because i let her pick out the paint color.

Sweet, you must post videos when you are done. I want to see what kind of power those make with simple upgrades.

[cweemanrun]

Can do.

Ready to see vids of this thing running now. I just love the sound of the idle. This is a swap i have in mind for the big future of my manche, but it will be way out there and only if the 4.0 doesnt do what i want offroad. (which I'm sure it will).

Youll enjoy the mileage and endless torque. :)

so the discussion the other day was over exact pricing of doing this swap... so if i may ask.. how much did you end up into this? don't have to tell if you don't want to of course.

[cweemanrun]

Well I'm looking around 7k but I'm not completely finished yet still have axles and I'm thinking aluminum radiator.

So that 4.0... need a home for it? :brows:

[cweemanrun]

Well good news for comanche fans another big win for us. here's a couple of pics of my rig and my second place trophy out of 30 jeeps. You should have seen the heads turn when i fired up that diesel was priceless

That's a solid truck... if there were any other diesel jeeps at the show I'm betting they weren't as fast ;)
