It wouldn't fit is the first thing that came to mind.
Radial engines have more power because they were air craft engines. Piston air craft engines were designed around being ran at 1/3 to 1/2 power for best economy.
The fuel economy would likely be pretty terrible on account of typical car and truck engines are built around best fuel economy at 10 to 20% power.
