Again...This is only INITIAL brainstorming....... Cheers, and flame-away!

Here's some specs on the C7 which is what I've got now, having recently traded my early 99 SRW F350 for a Freightliner "monster truck" to pull my new 40' triple axle 5er.

I've seen several F650's with the C7 while visiting CAT shops, and even there it looks to be a fairly cramped engine compartment compared to my Freightliner. I think the height of the C7 is the biggest issue, and you'd need to build a special hood, and then raise the drivers seat to see over that, depending on how tall you are.

If you want specific dimensions on anything just let me know, as I can literally walk around inside my engine compartment and measure to about a 1/4" accuracy!

C7 Specifications
Cylinders In-Line 6
Bore/Stroke 4.33 x 5.00 (110mm x 127mm)
Displacement 7.2 L (441 cu in)
Weight 1295 lb (588 kg)
Horsepower 300 to 350 @ 2400 rpm
Torque 860 lb-ft @ 1440 rpm
