Wow, this is very interesting!Lengthen the frame and ramp truck it. Also, ditch the 8.2.
"Of the roughly 300,000 8.2s produced, nearly 100,000 were built as “Spares” specifically to replace engines that failed within the engine’s warranty. Of the roughly 200,000 engines sold, nearly all failed while still under warranty, many catastrophically."

I've worked on 6V92s, and I don't think any 92 would fit under the hood. Plus, an 8V92 is 4,000 lbs! They are pretty hoss, though. I used to loadbank 220kw generators powered with 6V92s, and at 250kw they shake the ground pretty good. I put the loadbank inside our unheated shop on a 30°F day and it got the temperature up to 90°F in twenty minutes.Hell, go with the Detroit 8V92TT - over 400HP, go big or go home
