Pretty sure the majority of those you named are DIESEL ENGINES. Diesels produce more torque due to stroke length and the fact a compression engine ignites the fuel faster than a gas fueled combustion engine.

There's only one half ton diesel motor out there, and it's the Duramax 3.0L inline 6 from General Motors. I hear very good things about it. The inline 6 configuration is hard to package, but they made it work.

It has been far superior to the V6 configuration that the Ram used for their half ton diesels before canceling them last year.

Higher BMEP actually. The 5.4L Fords have a 4.17" stroke which is about the same or longer than the diesels of their era.

My point was that about engine size, you absolute cretin, and every engine mentioned are LARGE engines, even when diesel cycle. Large gas, large diesel...my point still stands. Now go find a bench child.
