Is this to put into a pickup truck?

Reason I ask is that cat engines are generally low power to weight for industrial use, and hopping the power on them is not a popular subject.

There is a I6 7.2 cat engine, but I think it's under 200 hp and would not even fit in a super duty truck without major modifications.

If there was a 900- 1000 lbs cat engine similar to cummins size 5- 6 liter, I bet it would put down a hot 120- 150 hp.
