Other: Harman says, "This engine is about 42 inches tall and 42 inches long, therefore I had to move the cab up 5 inches, make a 3 1/2-inch cowl hood, and dog box the firewall 5 inches. I had a 500-cubic-inch Cadillac engine and TH400 transmission in it before, but when grossing about 25,000 pounds, it got 4.5 mpg and would pull a hard hill 20 mph slower than it will now. The project took about 1,000 hours to complete, but when you can pull the hills in the western part of Virginia way over weight and never touch the gear lever, it's worth it."
