 think a GMC makes the most sense, but if you are looking at XXO you could 
 think about a REO Gold Comet 6 or various Intl. Harvester 6s much like 
larger 
 GMC motors. I liked the REO in Duce and a half trucks compared to GMC's.

Rich,
    Good idea. I hadn't thought about the REO and "Corn-Binder" engines. 
International Harvester made a RD-501, but it would be much too big 
considering the 375ci limit in XXO.............Ardun Doug King
