Description says 2000 12 valve. What application did this engine come from? Dodge moved to the 24 valve in 1998.

Truck looks great.
 
WOW! I was literally talking to my guys just the other day about building this exact truck (We have a 12V sitting on the floor)!! But here is one already done. I am responding mostly so I can mark it and find it easier when I get back from hunting next week. Awesome Truck!!!
