I'm with RonA, IMO it would be a P-Pumped 1st gen.
The VIN, and other corresponding number ID, would be for a diesel Dodge from 1989-1993 in order to quantify it as a 1st gen.

All else is just arguing for no real gain.

Mark.

 

I consider this body style 72-93 a first gen ram regardless of engine. Some day I would like to have a 24v P-pump, 6 speed, Dana 80 out back and a coil sprung 60 up front all rapped in a first gen. I wouldn't necessarily count that out as a first gen just a highly modded one. It's the body not the engine they came with gas motors too.

 

Why over 350hp? A good 12mm ve pump is good for 450hp without too much work. A VE pump at the same hp level will eat a pee-pump on the street. Maybe not high up in the rpms, but down low all day long.

I have done many a many tests on this exact issue.

Couldn't agree more 300rwhp is dead easy with a VE, but 400-450 isn't that much harder with a good turbo and big injectors. You're going to spend just as much on a p-pump swap as you are on the parts for the 450rwhp VE.

And a street truck at 450rwhp is no joke!

 

Is a Camaro not a Camaro anymore if you swap a Holley on?



1stgens to me are 89-93 Cummins powered Dodges. The Cummins is the reason for the Generation designation.

 

No. It's a Camolley.
