Afternoon from the Pacific Northwest Richard,

From the information that others put forward and Phil Pugliese finally got me to understand is that a 600 ton hull J4 drive when installed in a 400 ton hull would allow it to make a jump of 6 parsecs.

I'm trying to what has to change in the 400 ton hull to allow a 6 parsec jump.

Would the fuel requirement be determined by the J4 rating or the J6 rating?

 

As a j6, unless your rules incorporate an absolute limitation on jump distance by drive construction TL. 

Would the Power Plant be a PP4 or PP 6?

 

Power Plant model M, presuming that the previously stated drive was a Model M J-Drive.

Would the Computer be a Model/4 or Model 6?

model 6. Easily buildable at the TL type M drives become available.

If the J4 rating is used would the 160 tons of fuel be enough to make J6?

 

Nope. The one 160 will only cover J4 in a 400 ton hull.

If the J6 rating is used the 240 tons of fuel plus the  65 ton 600 ton hull J4 Type M drive plus a 37 ton  Power Plant exceeds the available 400 ton space with the Main Compartment components included.

Not quite. The total for JdM, PpM, MdB (1g), Bridge, and power plant fuel at the 10pn formula for 4 weeks, gives us 395 tons. You can fit a stateroom and 1 ton of supplies in there.
