Thread: Are there any 6 cyl or Turbo 4 diesels that would fit in F150?

    Default Are there any 6 cyl or Turbo 4 diesels that would fit in F150?

    I'm wondering if there is an economical turbo 4 diesel that would be sufficient to power a F150 2WD truck. Truck is used in rural area and tows no more than 3500 Lbs ocassionally.

    I was wondering if the 4 cylinder turbo diesel in the Jeep liberty might be an engine that could replace the small V8 in my Ford? I know those motors make more torque than my small V8. Or perhaps there are some commecial motors that might work?

    I was thinking of converting to small diesel and then having plug in electric hybrid added.

    Nissan had an inline 6, 3.3l diesel which could be mated to an NP435 transmission.

    A friend had one of those in his Jeep CJ. He just pulled in and replaced it with a 4bt because the 3.3 didn't produce enough power.

    I have seen 4bt engines stuffed into F150. Actually fit quite well. Try a google search.
