Might as well be building a space shuttle motor its less complicated.
Oh yea will you still have to pull the cab to work on the motor?
Complexity is bad!!!!!
simplicity is good ,complication of interdependent assemblys leads to a diagnostic and non cost effective parts repair schedule and exorborent mechanics labor pricing.
How about a simple multi fuel turbine engine electric over hydraulics, pickup truck, aluminum panels and components the weight savings will cause great fuel savings and simplicity.

I agree with what you wrote. The complexity of that nightmare in your photo combined with Furd's track record on diesel engines would prevent me from even looking at one. Dealers will probably struggle with the decision to send their diesel techs off for days of expensive training.
