put a 3-53 in an f350 once went like a shower of shit but on the govenors at 110 also caused industrial deafness in the cab

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.

that does indeed work for a 371 in a chamberlain super90 pulling a plow! I was wondering about road trips and low down power

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.
