A Checker should have enough room to drop in a Cummins from a Dodge
pickup truck.
I remember when I was but a young fellow, I worked a couple of summers
in a grocery store out at the lake. That would have been probably about
1965 and 1966 or maybe 1967.
One of my jobs was to help pack food orders and then carry them out to
the customer's car. One of the regular customers had a Checker sedan.
Lovely big thing. No problem piling the grocery bags in the back seat of
that thing.

A twin turbo 1000hp 6bt with a triple overdrive for ridiculous low rpm
highway cruising and 50mpg or better is what I had in mind......lol
Would be near bulletproof, hot enough to smoke near anything off the line,
efficient, etc........

Argh! I love Checkers. Haven't seen one in years. I'd like to
get a nice well-preserved one and do nothing to it except
replacing the engine with a crate small-block, then use it as a
daily driver.
I'd put an OM617 turbo in it. _That_ would be special - and slow.
So maybe a 4BT - but that would be rough.
Ahh. A 6BT - that's what a Checker needs!
