My 1980 RRC (3.5L) recently gave me a free demo of DOD when one of the plastic cups on the little tie-rod that links the two carbs broke and I lost the left bank of cylinders. My impression: You are now driving 1850 kgs of truck powered by a 1.75L motor. Could not even get byond 3rd gear, there is simply not enough power. The only way I see this working is in stop-start traffic on level ground and below 20 km/h.
Would you not also place undue strain on the components in your motor unless it was specifically made to due this? I think a chip switching it from V4to V6 to V8 would be a good idea providing that it rotates the cylinders so wear etc occurs evenly. But that is not going to work for carb motors anyway............unless you had eight carbs.
