Who Is Getting SD-90 6000hp

Frankly, I'm suprised that we haven't seen any SD40-2 being rebuilt with 12-710Gs rated at 3000hp or 16-710Gs rated at 4000hp. I mean with a few modifications a 16-710G should drop right into the engine compartment of a SD40-2 essentially making it a SD70-2. Or just use a 12cyl model and drop it into the compartment with even less modifications (I'm guessing) to keep the horsepower the same. I say this because I have seen 16-567 replaced with a 16-645. And the original GP40X (the single GP40 test unit built on a GP35 frame) had a 3000hp 16-645E3 in the same space that a 16-567D3A would have occupied in a standard GP35. Any other thoughts on this subject?[:)][:D][8D][;)]
