Watch out now................The experts here jumped all over me a while back when I said a 454 BBC engine could not pull 40 tons up a grade if installed in a semi-tractor..........even with a 13 spd. Road Ranger.
I was told that with low enough gears; it would work.
This may be true, but it would be a slow truck and would burn a lot of fuel for the effort it would have to provide. What about engine longevity?........
Now watch me get shot down again! Jason? Ken?
