I would think the big block at a dead pull @ stall speed would last longer than an electric motor with 700 or whatever volts smokin' the windings.
there's something else that nobody has addressed yet and that's gears. Sneak in there with a 6:1 box (don't ask me where from, I'm just speculating) and you'd apply 3,600 ft. lbs. from 600 at the crank.
