As previously stated. You want a diesel engine that has already seen service on the highway in a truck. Odds are you can use the new engine's alternator, power steering pump, cooling fan and AC compressor. Much less fuss. The throttle/governor from a highway vehicle works better too.

It's HP that gets a vehicle up to speed on an acceleration ramp to merge with traffic.Or to pull out and pass some poky. If using a four and even some five speed standard transmissions. It's a long way from redline then upshifting and watching the rpms drop way down below the torque peak. You can get stuck on hills doing 30mph and being a nuisance because the engine needs another gear between 2nd & 3rd. 1500-5500rpm powerband on a gasser is a different world than a diesel's 1100-2500rpm power band.
