I would think (depends on load of course) youre gonna need at least 150 HP and that sounds like a fairly decent sized 6 cylinder diesel. Of course a lil 4 cylinder IHC M engine would get gas mileage but isnt that true of any 50 HP engine you would throw at it?? Also if a 50 HP were installed where say a 150 HP were originally, Im not sure of the gears n transmissions and ratios PLUS the road speed of an under 1500 to 200 RPM engine where a design of 2000 to 3000 RPM was original.
Im NOT knocking a try, Im just concerned you need a larger engine at higher RPM to get a good roadworthy vehicle and once all thats done I dont see all that much, if any, MPG improvement cuz its still an internal combustion engine with all its inefficiencies
