Well, if you bump up the drivetrain to take full advantage of the dwarves' ST but keep the same speed, and assuming my back-of-the-envelope math is correct, you get an extra 1 750pd for engine, drivetrain, and armor. Assuming the human design had a 1kW drivetrain too, bumping up the engine and drivetrain to 1.12kW would add 14.4pd, and back-calculating the body area from the HP, you could add 8/4W DR(and change) with that remainder.

Maybe switch the dwarven model to metal armor, for a total of 18/9 DR; that'll laugh off just over 90% of hits from a 4d pi++ musket. A nasty contraption to pilot, but truly a dreadnought of battlefields otherwise dominated by DaVinci's model…
