have seen a couple of F trucks advertised with them in, i guess you'd have to make sure the gearing made for a comfortable cruising speed, i've often wondered if the 6v53 would fit in an f350, probably too heavy. Would use some fuel also, sound good tho.

yes they are diesel engines used in trucks. They are just about used in everything industrial. They are 2 stroke and come in all sorts of different configerations. The three cylinder sizes are 53, 71, 92 cubic inches per cylinder.
