For those of us more familar with H.P. than kW ratings
for engine power. 1 HorsePower = 746 Watts or
.746kiloWatts (if my engineering text book serves me
correctly...)
200 kw/.746kw = 268 HP
300 kw/.746kW = 402+HP
Probably enough to tear the rear-end clean apart. But
if you're clever enough to stuff a new engine in a
six, you're probably clever enough to beef the rear
end up to match. ... Now if only I had the funding to
back up my dreaming : )
