If your into the diesels... then why not a Cummins Turbo Cuda

You are not the first person to say that. Believe me, 5.9L diesels rock (I have 3 including my freightliner - one which was a swap from a gas engine). Most powerful vehicles I have ever driven were a 2001 Dodge Viper, a heavily modded 2001 Cummins truck, and my blue 98 truck (avatar). No joke. On the freeway they seem to have limitless power, but 1000+ ft lbs will do that.

Aside from that, weight (front suspension issues), hood height (Cummins engines are super tall), and I guess kind of been there done that (still like it though).

I just REALLY have wanted to try and build a twin turbo, single digit, pump gas car. My intention is either to have this car be that, or provide funding (as a sold resto job) for a similar race car B-body.
