14 liter v12?

 

Only 500hp and 1000ftlbs..on boost.. that motor needs some love.

 

It's a supercharged diesel V. Not the best choice for making real power. Most s/c diesels only make good power within a very narrow RPM band.

A big inline 6 turbo-diesel is the way to go if you're looking for big power with a wide powerband. The Cummins ISX in my old truck made 475hp and a bit over 1300lb-ft in stock form. Dial up the boost or use a larger turbo, and 600/1500would be pretty easy.

Side pipes would be enough. Stacks look bad.

 

"The truck/car/rod initially featured zoomie exhausts but perhaps the diesel fumes were entering the cab. The headers now collect into vertical exhaust stacks."
