Cool ! Slowly build it up!!
out here in California there are lots of monster truck shops
a good one is “Randy’s off-road “ in Azusa California
ive known randy for going on 30 years and he makes some incredible monster trucks !
we have “the hammers” out in the desert and he’s made an incredible rock crawler to compete but that was like 7-8 years ago,
just punch it in on google and hit pics and you can see some of his trucks
get us some pics of that hellcat trail dominator when ya get it done!!

This is a new job to me so I don't know how tight OPSEC (operational security) is but I will check in time from time. I am going to start a thread in the discussion section lol

Lol! This won't be an old thread til spring time! I'm not stuck on any particular power output. Just lots of torque. Not really that big a cam for over 400 cid.
Not totally opposed to bastardizing, but I don't want to overcomplicate things, and I'd like more than a stock 6.0 puts out, unless maybe it's one of the new ones.
Already have a manual transfer case, and talked to my transmission builders, and I should be good for 450 ft/lbs to 500 ft/lbs torque. Of course if I'm using all 500, all the time, my transmission isn't going to last super long before I'll need a rebuild.

A 2012 LS 6.0L has the ls 3 heads and VSV camshaft, probably just a cam shaft away from 500-600HP. A LS engine is way easier to build up than any mopar. Mix in a 46re transmission rebuild (your going to dump in a bunch of 47/48re parts), man $2600 is pretty cheap power and mix in 6L90 transmission. Its a decent upgrade for an older pick-up. Keep us post on what you decide.
