RAM 2000 #5 - 2012 - Stroker 12V

Just got word from Jeff. He just got home with this.

2012 RAM that more than likely be a stroker 12V he's been working on.

He's going to be starting on it Monday and sending me pics to post for updates as the build progresses...

I was down there yesterday.. He was just starting to build the motor for it.

They got so busy he had to put it on the back burner for a bit.
He's hoping to finish in a few weeks or so.

Sorry for no updates lately... They've been WAY busy and then....

Well 2 weeks to the day, Jeff has it back running...(For those that don't know, it suffered some engine damage - not at the hands of Jeff..Long story..Don't ask..lol )

Long story short, he pulled the 6.7 motor and since he had everything handy to build a good 5.9 he just did that for now..

He even pulled the damaged turbo apart and put it on the lathe and fixed it... Probably hurting the air delivery a bit but it runs!! He wanted it up for the wknd of May 3-5 NHRA when Cruz Pedregon comes to the shop...Plus he simply wanted to enjoy it a bit...

It has the single 71 on it for now but he build the motor like his old race motor so he may build some twins for it soon...Run them for a while and Then build the 6.7 12V when he has more time.. For now he says it feels like about 550-600 hp... He put smaller injectors in it due to the 5.9 not spooling the big single as well.

Anyway...He debadged it and drove it home... Here's a few pics he sent me...
