X2 !!! This would definitly make a nice ride.. And plenty of room to put the 6bt in there.. A brake upgrade may be in order though, if you haven't done so already

I have wanted one in my wife's daily Jeep cherokee sport...but never want to take on something like that.
89-98.5 Dodge trucks used the mech. 6BT.
The 1000lb engine, and massive torque probably call for some frame reinforcement.
Forget the Cummins. 4-53 T that sucker. Two-stroke diesel fury! It'd even be somewhat period appropriate, too. 1950s technology two-stroke diesel and a 1950s truck.

I've seen a few 4bt's swapped into Cherokees.. I think they used a GM trans since the adapter is pretty available..
