Yeah maybe a Q jet will be ok.....My idea of a working truck engine is from my experience with working on and driving V8 gas engine dump trucks in the 70's...230-250 HP to haul over 15 tons means the engine spends a lot of time at wide open throttle against governor at 4000 rpm while you row the gear shift lever.....
