It's do-able. I know a guy who did it with his Scout II.

shoe in

my scout has a v-8 in it, but only 4 cylinders [1/2 of a v-8], an it has a lot of roam. it weight 4,000 pounds. the thing i was looking at the 6.9 is a international engine block an i was hopping to bolt up to my transfer case. it would be bad seeing i have an overdrive that i can shift in an out, it gives me 4 revers an 24 forward.
