4BT swap info please

Post by tomor13 »

Need some help. Computer died and this is a new one. I had some links from you all on the 4BT. I just got the lower gasket kit and piston for the VE pump. Boost HP. Need those links for tech support on doing this work. Thanks

I swapped mine, but went with a nv4500 trans. All custom mounts, transfer case is still stock in its home location. As long as your good at fab work it's a breeze. If you have any specific questions I'll try to answer them.

Looking for a ford zf. All though the nv that was in some bread trucks or from the 5.9's in dodges could work. Finding one locally is a challenge.

Cummins has the manuals, you can order them online or from a local distributor.
I have a Ford ZF setup behind my 4BT and can help you source one, but it would be helpful to know your location as distance matters (shipping)...

Finally landed a zf5. From a 2wd truck. Could use the part numbers for the shifter and housing. All the clutch parts. Also an adapter plate for the 4BT to zf. I was under the impression the T-19 parts would work but no.
