FOR SALE: (The Grinch)
We have decided to sell our 1997 Dodge Ram pro street truck formerly known as The Grinch. This truck had set the standard for 4wd diesel racing for years and ran out front for most of its life. It was the 1st truck to the 9s and to the 8s. Chassis has been 5.41 and 145mph in the 1/8th with previous power plant. At this time the truck is turn key with a fresh power plant and that's how we would like to sell it. Turn key. Listed below is the basic info of truck and driveline. I will go into depth more on engine specs with serious buyers.

Truck has only made 1 full pass on the new power plant. Transmission and converter has 0 passes on them. (Just installed) everything is extremely fresh and completely 100% turn key race track ready. I'm sure I am forgetting somethings. Please only serious enquiries only. PM for pricing. I may consider selling as a roller for the right deal but prefer turn key sale and will NOT part anything out. You can PM me or text/call me directly (859-466-7737) with serious interest. We hate to see this piece of history go but it deserves someone who has the ability to keep it in the pro street chase. Thanks for reading
