edit, how about dropping a Series 50 into an F150 or 250, sure it will shake itself to pieces but 1200 ft/lb of torque from an I4 stock isn't bad. Thats if you can keep the pistons from shattering the cylinder walls (which they do ALOT).

it's a matter of weight. the 50 is around 2800lbs (iirc) so it would be too much for any light duty truck to take. you could probably fit it in a medium duty truck (Kodiak/Topkick, F550 up) and not have too much of a problem with the weight. that's actually a swap i want to try. and they don't shake THAT much (at least when the balancing shafts are correctly timed
). also, just install thicker cylinder lines and slightly smaller pistons to stop the shattering problem (would the cylinder wall problem be common with the 60 Series too, considering they are the same liners and pistons, just two more on the 60??)
