Now that is cool, but they should have used an I4 Cummins IMHO. :rockon:

Agreed, 4BT should have fit without such major hackage.

Come on now boys, 4 cylinders in a stretched Unlimited?
That 6 cylinder bad boy can be turned up to 1,000 hp.
The money has probably run out on the project but I say, Yea Dude!

I agree with the racertracer. That is BEAUTIFUL :BANANA:
Who wants 4 pistons when 6 is a much better number.

I'd rather have the 4BT instead of the 6BT.

4BT can make HUGE power too, but it does it in less space (easier to work on) and uses less fuel. Would have been a much better fit for a Jeep.

Yep, 6bt is just silly in a vehicle the size of a JK. Here's the RIGHT way to make a diesel jeep workhorse:

Pretty bitchen, but the 4BT would have fit much better. Im using a 4BT in candy, I wanted to use a 6, but there's no way it would fit. Cutting the fire wall out like that isn't necessary.

Oh, and the 1,000HP comment; yes it can be done, in that Jeep no way. 90% of the 1,000HP cummins engines weren't built correctly and end up looking like this.

Looks like the best way to upgrade a 2 wheel drive JK that Florida is full of. :)

Where are they going to put the veg oil tank. And if so I want the 6 with twin turbos.
