The 8.3L "C" engine weighs 702kg....you need another 500lb of front-end capacity just to keep the oil pan off the pavement. Saw one reference stating approx 700-1000 Nm of torque @approx 1.4Nm / ftlb, the rating I just saw must be incredibly undertuned. Have no idea where the HP/TQ would max out after a little bit of BOMBing. I'd expect 1000lbft would be pretty easy, but the HP number might still seem dismal. Its redline is slower than the "B"'s.

Seems like you'd need a significant amount of power to offset the ridiculous amount of extra pork.

holy moly that is 2.5 times the mass of the b motor. Prolly wouldn't fit w/out a lot of body lift. And youd have to build yo own frame.
