I'm sorry but it is pretty obvious that it is not a practical Truck engine, The drive to the truck that it is powering is presumably through a cassette gearbox in the base of the engine and then into a Power take off but because of its bulk the prime mover has only enough load space for a wheel and tyre,

Yeah, and just imagine trying to jump start it too

Mind you, you would have to have webbed feet to do it, and an aversion to green kryptonite!

Just imagine the noxious emissions from this big b*stard!

Mind you, you'd have a bit a struggle putting an MOT probe down one of the funnels, to get a reading
