Yes,enough power but very slow down the road. 3-53 has 53 cubic inches per cly. A 71 has 71 cubes per. multiply by the # of clys. gives the size of your engine. They are also very heavy and noisy for a 1 ton truck.

Natural aspirated two stroke 53 series Detroits will do about 26HP per cylinder at 1800rpm with N50 or C50 injectors. The 53 series will wind up to 2800rpm with the latest valve and cam follower springs. Take C60 injectors with four valve heads. Dry low restriction airfilter and low restriction exhaust. You may squeeze about 125HP from a 3-53.
The 3-71 will go 2300rpm and make about 135HP.
There were some turbo intercooled silver 3-53 and 4-53 engines laying around. Rooten tooten engines those rascals were.

If you look in the Detroit Manuals and parts books. Non turbo Detroits are considered natural aspirated. We went through this topic 2-3 years ago.
I don't hear the term turbo super charged.

I'd go with a 4-53T which will give you plenty of power. Heres one in a pulling tractor thats modified to put out over 300 horses.

I think Harley's are more efficient at that...
