I think Thunder Tiger already makes a truck with a .70 helicopter engine. It goes fast, but not 112+ fast. Perhaps that's because it is a monster truck and geared for torque.

But an airplane engine is an interesting idea. They rev almost as high as the car engines but come in much larger displacements. It may be difficult adapting a clutch though.
