Everybody keep thinkin' and engineering----

I don't know about your specific engine but the other v6's could turn 3k easily. hooking 2 of them together shouldn't reduce rpms. the 2400 may be a max constant rpm. far as the setup for it I was thinking move the cab back so it would fit. modify the fenders and hood so they would reach. gear the truck HIGH these have more than enough torque to pull. Far a a transmission goes check your bell housing bolt pattern. there were a bunch of the smaller v6's put in 1 ton pickups. If you are lucky it will bolt up to a regular gm bell housing. I don't know when GM totally quit making this series of v6 but I know a 478 was available in a 74 gmc 7500 series.
