Attention: TDR Forum Junkies I found this about the Detroit Diesel Series 40. Having dealt with the new Series 60 in the big trucks I think it would be a great engine. The 60 gets excellent mpg compared to the Cummins and Cat. Check it out!

Comprised of 7. 6 and 8. 7 liter displacements, the Series 40 engine family is available in turbocharged and turbocharged air-to-air charge cooled models.
The four models in the Series 40 family provide the engine with versatility in the automotive, construction, industrial, and generator set markets. The two displacements of the Series 40 allow this engine series to provide a wide range of horsepower offerings in all market sectors. This enables the Series 40 to offer power that is needed under any condition while maintaining the high standards of performance the engine achieves.
The reliability and durability of the Series 40 engine have been assured by a host of premium features. These include a high strength alloy cast iron deep skirt cylinder block with wet-type replacement liners, induction hardened crankshaft, premium design cylinder head with replaceable liners, induction hardened crankshaft, premium design cylinder head with replaceable valve guides and valve seat inserts, and large crankshaft and connecting rod bearings - all designed to provide maximum life.

unlike the Cat 
. I also had a good friend with one in a Log Truck, it did amazingly well, in spite of our badmouthing him with our Cummins and Mack powered trucks. In the case of the power rating of the IHC pickup in another thread, It is derated just like the 5. 9 in the Dodge. It is capable of some serious power!!
