If you are rebuilding a 2007.5-2018 Dodge Ram or replacing a worn 6.7 Cummins engine, our 6.7L 24V Cummins short blocks provide a strong and reliable bottom-end foundation. A short block is the ideal option when your cylinder head and upper engine components are still usable, but the lower end needs attention due to wear, damage, or high mileage. These 6.7 Cummins short blocks are well suited for stock replacement builds, tow rigs, work trucks, and performance applications that require a durable base.
Compared to a full long block or complete crate engine, a 6.7 Cummins short block offers a more cost-effective solution while allowing you to reuse select components and maintain flexibility in your build. This approach is common for customers looking to control costs while still upgrading critical engine components. Whether you are rebuilding a daily driver, maintaining a fleet truck, or building a strong platform for towing or performance use, CPP Diesel helps simplify the process with dependable Cummins engine options and real diesel experience.

A 6.7 Cummins short block includes the engine block, crankshaft, pistons, and bearings, professionally assembled and ready for installation. This provides a strong bottom-end foundation while allowing you to reuse or upgrade your cylinder head, valvetrain, fuel system, and external components. For many builds, this offers the right balance between cost, flexibility, and long-term durability.
A short block includes the lower portion of the engine—block, crankshaft, pistons, and bearings—while a long block includes the cylinder head and valvetrain components as well. If your top-end components are still in good condition, a short block is often the most cost-effective solution. If you want a more complete engine assembly with fewer parts to transfer, a long block or complete crate engine may be the better choice depending on your build goals.
