    Guarantee it lol, K series usually high rent.

    For the coolness factor a 12V71TT would be in my sights.

    Was a post on here with a KTA in a cab over Freightliner. It was in Canada? Might still be there. E Bay Google ETC.
    That has a lot to do with the right foot. Thank gallons per mile. I believe it was Don Garlet answering a question about the quantity of fuel his engine used. He replied a standard shower head puts out about 3 gallons per minute. If you put four of them on top of this engine it would still be starved for fuel. He was using a different fuel making more HP but you are working more toward GPM than MPG. The N14 and 3406 are great engines. Much less expensive than the big cube Cat, Cummings, Detroit, or Mack.
