However, it’s also official that the car will be sporting a billet block Cummins when it returns in the fall. Fresh out of the Haas VF6 at Freedom Racing Engines, the new forged-aluminum crankcase will add strength yet weigh half as much as a cast-iron 6.7L block. While the current rotating assembly is swapped over to the blingy new block, the transmission and converter will take a trip over to Sun Coast, and the car itself will be delivered to Herbie Henry for a few touchups on the sheet metal.

Engine failure is never fun, but man does it create a neat pile of rubble to sift through when it’s this catastrophic. The new LBZ, one of DHD’s Street Hooker builds, will sport Carrillo rods, upgraded pistons, and select parts from Wagler Competition Products and Manton. Hey, if DHD can assemble an engine to survive competing in both Pro Street and UCC in the same weekend, it’s safe to say this customer’s replacement mill will be rock-solid no matter what kind of abuse it sees.

Gateway Car Connection has a knack for finding low-mile, near-perfect-condition heavy duty Dodge Rams and this one is no different. The ’05 Ram SLT 3500 dually is common-rail 5.9L Cummins-powered, 48RE-shifted, four-wheel drive, and has just 75,000 miles on the odometer. The interior is positively mint, with the power cloth seats looking as though they’ve never even been sat in. It’s listed for $36,800, which with the current prices we’re seeing in the used vehicle segment doesn’t seem out of line.

Due to rapid growth and effectively outgrowing their current facility, the talented team will soon be relocating to Seymour, Indiana. As a bonus, the Seymour city council has granted a 10-year tax abatement to S&S for the property they plan to use. S&S plans to renovate the new location, a cost of approximately $350,000, and hopes to move all 10 of its current employees in as soon as possible. With room to grow, future expansion may also include the hiring of additional employees.

Deere supplied two diesel engines for testing, a DPF-equipped 6.8L and a non-DPF 4.5L. Following testing, possible solutions to decrease these off-highway engines’ low-load NOx output included the possibility of adding a dual SCR system with dual dosing, and a modified conventional DOC + DPF + SCR + ASC (ammonia slip catalyst) system. The study goes on to show data that supports using a dual dosing SCR system, but also acknowledges that it would add “considerable cost and packaging challenges” for the engine manufacturer.
