    you can put any engine in your truck that will pretty much fit in the engine compartment .

    Your only limit is your budget most anything can be fabricated and built for enough money

    The more Horse Power the more the drive line needs to be built as well $$$

    Nothing was said about it being Street Legal

    I guess in California even thinking along those lines is a EPA Violation

    True... street legal is something else for sure.

    CA blows for sure when it comes to tree hugger crap.
