Dont worry the deuce front axle can take the extra weight :D
The torque increase will take care of the extra weight, might wanna go full hudro steering to make it more streetable.
what does the multifuel weigh ? Id bet it is over 1500.
with the stock axle ratio, an overdrive automatic like an md3060, you could cruise that motor at 2100, save fuel , and have plenty of torque. the motors are on e-gay for 2-3k.

peep this link to see the hp and tq ratings, its impressive for a 4 cylinder
Detroit Diesel Series 50 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
look at the list of competing powerplants, most of em are in a military appliation.
wouldnt this be the best engine for a swap? being its only a 4 cylinder, its plenty short, available in alot of inner city buses, and rated at 250-320hp, it would be a prime candidate for a swap, more room left for a overdrive auto trans also.....anyone else pondering this idea ?
by the way...
