Minis have no problem getting insured with a vtec's, bike engines and all sorts of other things, so as long as your with a specialist that deals in modified vehicles you should be ok.

With my mini, they were only concerned about power increase rather then what was actually in there.

What trucks an buses have the 6bt engine in steggers. Some of the engines on ebay are abit dear and id prefer do how ya said and buy a full truck to make things easier.

DAF 45s have them bud... bout a grand for a full truck

 

[powerjunkie]

Nice one nick. Might see ya at smallwood next year matey

Bloody heck, if I could find a 6BT over here, I'd be tempted...........

theyre in a lot of vehicles im sure you could find one

i dont regret it at all... brilliant engine... just need better brakes now lol

 

[bushmaster]

Hi, I look and resd the whole thing; fascinating story and great mechanical lesson. Love it.
Do you think such conversion could be done on any land rover. I have a Defender 110 TD5 which will need a new engine soon.

 

[pressbrake]

Yes, though if its a late td5 with the rover rear axle it would be best to swap to salisbury or even better put landcruiser 80 series axles on front and rear

 

[NRS91]

yea 110 has more room in it than the 90... just less refined compared to a Td5... the Cummins is like a big TDi
