So I am pretty new here and am thinking about doing a 6bt swap on my 80

[joshuath85]

I have a 93 FZJ80 and I want to drop a 6bt in it. I live in WA and I do not have any room to do it myself. Before calling around and embarrassing myself what can I expect to pay for something like this? I can maybe find a garage at a friends if the price of labor is too high, but I would rather have someone who has done it do it for me. What are your thoughts? What am I looking at for price? Anyone here know of a garage near(ish) Seattle that does this?

Thanks guys, I am happy to be apart of this community and sorry if this seems stupid to you guys.

15-20k for an average install 30-40k for a high end clean install. if nay thing less run away you will not be happy and working on it all the time there are quite a few cummins cruisers up in the NW. look up Cruiserconcepts i thnk he 's done afew to sale but it's been years ago. there are lots for threads on the conversion and there is more to it than the bolt on kit to be happy long term. manual, gears , split case overdrive or 37" rubber overdrive, or a combination of all of these things which add up.

Id be real careful of who you have do it.

Also, this is not a project to do in a friends garage.
