About 160nm :lol: To be fair a 360 drivetrain might cope with that, maybe

The main dilemma would be engine management - Far simpler - I reckon a 340 with the 1.9 Renault TDI and a few choice modifications (stronger prop to deal with the low rpm torque) would go very well in a 950-1000kg 340

But again the main problem will be the large whollop of torque you get at very low RPM - I'd guess a fair bit more stressful on weak props than similar torque figures that are achieved gradually over 5000rpm in a valver

The shock loading wouldn't be nice! I did also suggest that, I did think it would be far simpiler
