Neil, what stroke is that motor?  
Trying to get an idea of the displacement.
That hp/torque curve looks like something from a turbo diesel truck.
I would have to agree with you, hp overkill, and enough TQ to kill your
trans quickly.

Some specs for the EM100

                 EM100
Cylinder bore           100 mm
Dry weight              296 lb.
Dimensions LxWxH (inches)               22.8 x 41.3 x 18.5
Horsepower              325 @ 3,500 rpm
Torque          664 lb.-ft @ 2,100 rpm
Power density           1.1 hp per lb.

Overkill HP, but will the block fit?

I assume their EM65 would be smaller (not having 2 or more engines
tandem via what I assume is some kind VC?)

Neil.
