It doesn't fit so well. I have a 6BT in a 47 pickup and after hacking the firewall, there's no room for pedals, the shifter sits too far back, even the turbo is invasive into the cab.Then the oil pan hangs down too far to get a front driveline in with the stock diffs. DON'T DO IT , I didn't listen (never do) now I am building a new, longer frame and am extending the cowl.(Round fender 2wd truck, should proportion out ok.) Then I get to notch the oil pan and re-arch the springs. If I live long enough to get it done, I probably get to break axles.
