I agree its not a bad choice for a motor, it just didnt seem right on that CNN thing, which was about where that truck had been, not turning it into something it wasnt.
Were it me, id have rebuilt the original engine that moved that truck in combat, restored it to original condition, then applied the artwork. Any battle damage i would have highlighted like they do on some tank restorations. To me that would have made it more valuable as a historical artifact.
Now its a foose interpretation
