I have a Detroit 4-53t waiting installation in a Chevrolet 1 ton. Nothing beats an old 2 stroke as long as you have plenty of gears and keep the foot to the floor.

Ha ! ....yeah, sounds like a fun project. Gears....foot to the floor ? ..... yeah, I would think so ! What....those made about 150 hp or so !

Truck unit.

Foot to the floor because they like to grenade at idle.
The old 2 strokes last longer when they're abused.
