It should be noted that this diesel engine produces about 1000 ft/lb torque.
The 13B is around 160 and a 20B about 240 (normally

aspirated).

Tracy, The torque on that engine is actually about 600-700 ft pounds. 
That is still a lot but when doing calulations for max capability the 
figure is important. Bill Jepson
