We had some 20 ton cranes that had these engines as the prime mover.
They are very heavy for the amount of HP you get out of them.
Not sure about the blower/turbo aspect of these engines. The ones in our cranes were naturally aspirated.
I think they were also the engine in the M-123 tractor (Recovery 4x4 check me on this). When you get all the accessories on the engine it take up a lot of space.
There might also be problems mating it to the existing tranny. They are a lot wider than an in-line six also. Before I would go through the hassle of a swap like that I would buy a canned stock engine from Memphis Equip. or the like.
Just my 2cents worth.
