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...

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...
