Just curious!

Anyone think it's possible to put the 6bt cummins into a 1968 fj 40? It already runs a inline 6 so I'm not sure if the cummins is a tad longer or not. I think it'd fit perfect honestly.

Anything is possible. Probably not feasible. Just because it's still a 6 cylinder doesn't mean a whole lot. A 6bt is a good sized engine, and quite heavy.

Why choose a 6bt? What are your plans for the rig?

All depends on the country and state you live in. Check your local laws

Sounds like a plan. Be sure to start a build thread in the correct section when you start
