theres a green dakota with a 98 cummins block, i beleive a 98, 24 valve running around up in scranton pa. that s.o.b. is lifted pretty damn high to accommodate the engine under the hood without modifying the hood. the valve covers are about 4 inches from the top of the hood and the entire long block is about 36 inches from valve cover to base of oil pan, just guessing.
