Kinda off subject

This is a little off subject but i was in class the other day workin on a c7 cat and got to thinking about putting one in an f350 around the same year as mine for a toy. I know everyone puts 12v and 24v cummins in their truck but i want something uniqe lol. i know it can be done but would it be worth it to put a c7 or like a 3208 in a pickup?

I think Cost would b e the main issue, A C7 is gonna cost more than your truck...other than that it'd be bad ***

ya i know it would cost quiet a bit. but i think it would be worth it. ive never seen a pickup with a cat in it. would a 3208 be any better since its all mechanical?

here is some discussion on that LINKY

The 3208 is a sweet motor but weighs clsoe to 1500lbs. It has been done but can be a bear on front end's
