I test drove a 3/4 Chevy with a 6.6, now that had balls. Too bad the styling is so hideous but the GM LS based engines don’t have all the issues that the Ford and Hemi Chrysler engines do.
If I was going to use a gas engine for pulling I’d look at a GMC (better looking) with that engine.

6.6 gas engine? Is that something recent?

Yea, 401 horses and 464 ft pds of torque. I always preferred Fords when it came to trucks but it’s hard to deny these LS engines are a great design. Plus if it has a Allison behind it, that’s a tough drivetrain.
