Caterpillar

I got a peak at a Cat C6 industrial engine last night. I'd sure like to put one of those in a truck. I don't know what the specs are on that engine but it looks like its about the same size as a Cummins 6bt. Nice little (for a cat)engine.

C6 must be a spin-off of the Perkins 6.6L. Should be a good engine

It would make a fun project.
I understand Cat parts can be pretty expensive leaving me to wonder what the ROI of long term ownership would be on project like that.
