A twin turbo 1000hp 6bt with a triple overdrive for ridiculous low rpm
highway cruising and 50mpg or better is what I had in mind......lol

Why 50 mpg?  It's a diesel, they're not quite as sensitive to
RPM as a gasser.  You can get a solid 25MPG in the truck if you
keep it under 1800 RPM, which is (I've heard) its sweet spot.
But 50?

Also, do remember that at low RPM's the torque out of that
engine is very 'lobey', it could beat your drivetrain to
pieces.
