Pressbrake will know
Do you want to sell it, what gearbox is it?
because its one of the most reliable and tunable engines ever made
wont last the torque will tear the fook out of it
I cut and ally welded a lt85 bellhousing to fit it on a non turbo cummins on my first conversion back in 2000, worked ok but always a worry.
A turbo cummins will kill any lr gearbox so you use the zf 5 42 which would are fitted to daf 45 and ford f350 pickup trucks.
the problem is the 18" flywheel with large clutch which really needs a sae pattern bell housing

go to this site for a cummins to ford transmission
Ford ZF to Cummins adapter...which one? - Dodge Cummins Diesel Forum
thats where we are lucky in england,the only zf 542 we can get, are to fit the cummins

I know the 6B well (my Dad used to be a Cummins dealer) they are a great engine in the right vehicle, I would have thought there were better engines for a Landy for any application, if you have one lying around though I guess it would be rude not to put it in there!
Pressbrake; did the weight make much difference on the ones you've done?

why not a cummins 4 BT a bit smaller so less weight and with its turbo kicks the same as the 6 B N/A
Not really, that 6x6 cummins on my website still weighed less than a disco 3!
