Diesel-Powered 700HP, 11-Second ‘28 Dodge Rat Rod

Rat rodders have a great way of bringing not only classic cars back from the grave, but some pretty unique engines. We’ve seen rat rods sporting inline sixes, flat head Fords, unusual Y-blocks, W-head 409s, 413 Max Wedges and anything and everything in between. But, this one-of-a-kind “Smoker Rat” is probably the first smoke-spewing dargger we’ve ever heard of. The powerplant, an inline six cylinder Cummins turbo diesel, was lifted from a ‘98 Dodge Ram 2500, rebuilt, tuned and plumbed to crank out a whopping 1270 ft.-lbs of torque and 693 rwhp.
