WOW...that is Awesome.
Should snuggly fit, though you might want to go with the RS motor mounts.

Made me dizzy to look at it! The NUCLEAR SUBMARINE I used to drive had less power and torque! Amazing piece of engineering.

Maximum power: 108,920 hp at 102 rpm

Mind-blowing!

Are they really getting almost 109,000 hp from 111,000 cubic inches (almost 1 hp/cubic inch) from a diesel that spins at just 102 rpm? And over 5.6 million lbs/ft at the same rpm?

Personally, I'd like to see the machine tool used to grind the crankshaft, finish the rods, and other operations required to make an engine.

You'll need to make sure you're running TT rims on the rear for clearance... but it should fit
