Ken nobody runs a diesel in a monster truck and for good reason. Geez give it a rest.

Esmiller73 let me just tell you right now if you are actually serious about this build, you are on the wrong forum altogether.

What do you mean? Yea there may not be the most monster truck enthusiasts on this site but there are plenty of dodge and hemi enthusiasts on this site for certain.

I have had the fun of working on two alcohol motors one BBC and one Sbc this was more than 20 years ago and most of what I know about them will be outta date info. The bbc was a fuel injected naturally aspirated motor high comp 14.5:1 the sbc was a carbed street motor. Alcohol motors high maintenance motors, burn your eyes out exhaust fumes, and if it starts on fire you can't see it, double the fuel consumption (if that matters). I hated that motor but it made huge hp the est hp on the motor was 1200 (it was built by Ken Murray in Winnipeg MB).

I would go gas but I am so outta date.

These were not my motors but ran in cars I worked on.

Edit: I have to agree with Wr this is not the right area for this info.
