these 4.2 guys are funny. This one said you could put a 4.2 in a 15 ton dump truck if you built it a little bit

Yup pretty funny 
just kidding.
I can picture an amature driver driving a "loaded"(10,000lbs) powered truck down hill down shifts and the torque of the drive line ripps the motor mounts and twists the engine 90 degrees. That would be funny to see.
Those boy's don't get it there is a reason you don't see V style engines in big trucks. Especailly small V style engines.
