This has been covered LOTS... like hundreds of times on this page and the engine building pages, so maybe do some reading and come back with specific questions once you know what can be done... which is almost anything.. it's just limited by how much $$ you got to spend. Also detail how you use the truck and how it's equipped, gear ratio, tire size, transmission, etc.. because that all has an effect on how you should build the motor.
