Current truck isn't netting you any *****, Eh?
1000HP Duramax swap. done.

Hahaha I wish....we have joked about it a time or two but probably won't happen. That duramax is a company truck anyways.

Plenty of wrecked donors in the yards by now.

I've seen a 12v in a 1/2 stepper, looked good but I'm sure it would get real tail happy on you with a little boost. I have a line on a 96' F800 with a 12v and allison... would love to squeeze that under my hood but I don't want to twist my truck around

We have a shortbed 2wd Truck on the place, and i was wanting to turn it into a diesel Street Monster.

And my Gf likes my current truck

LoL...right on.
Seriously though...Dmaxx's are no joke when they are sooped up. I personally would use a long bed stepper though...you hit the go pedal in an insanely powered shorty stepper, and its like launching a model rocket with no tail fins.
as far as exhaust goes....do something different than virtical stacks. maybe two big ass 5" pipes along the bed rails.

I also agree !! One word !! Cummins ....

As far as cummins goes.
Can they fill up 2 5" or 6" stacks?
And second off, Can they rap up pretty quick?

Also, where do they top out at as far as rpm?

Hahaha ! Yea all you need is 4000 rpm spring some good sticks get a p-pump engine ! There 1000 hp motors if you build them right and it's a pretty simple install ! Not to bad . Couple hard parts like a tranny mount and mounting the intercooler and getting some of your factory gauges working . But simple my self and wild cat has done this swap so if you have any questions just ask you can pick up a p-pump engine for any where 1100 to 1900 depending on where you live and mileage I love my swap !! As far as filling the stacks . You know that's wasted horse power you could be making . Neather of my trucks smoke bad but they'll smoke the tires right off of the trucks .. Just my .02 cents

I'll see if i can get the drawing up on here that i made

Here is it, i drew it about a month and a half ago.

I always thought a 2wd shortbed stepside would be sweet with a diesel and a set of stacks like the Lil' Red Express had. Pretty much like your pic, but not quite so tall. That's the ONLY time you will ever hear me say I like stacks.

But then again, a set of side pipes would be pretty badass too...

Thats actually how i got the idea in my head. I watched a movie where a guy was drag racing a lil red.

Short of an OE 6.2 Diesel swap, if I were going thru all the headache and work for a conversion, without doubt, Cummins would be my ONLY consideration. What to decide would be 4cyl or 6 cyl and that depends on what I can get for cheap. Usually the 6 is easier and cheaper to find.

How easy is it to turn up a pump on one of those?

Couple hours to turn the power screw. It has a keyed lock you have to pry off without forgetting where stock is. Afc wheel is under the top cap and most people either buy a power pin or grind the stock one. I wouldn't chance weakening the stock screw. I'm referring to the ve pump on the early models. I've never touched a p pump but read it's super easy. If you do this read about it more on the cummins websites so you don't cause a runaway situation and blow your motor/turbo.
