Is there any real difference in the two? Dodge HP is 170 ish, while the Industrial applications I've seen up to 215HP?

Are you talking about the Cummins 6BT or another engine?

The 24 valve in the heavy duty package will develop over 300 HP, BUT the electronics are proprietary to Dodge-RAM, which makes it VERY Expensive to change around.

The Dodge 6bt 12V had a smaller capacity oil pan than the others, to make it fit in the chassis. It had a Dodge only flywheel housing and engine mount system as well. There were many different versions of flywheel housings and engine mounts for other applications. I know that the lower ratings had a different piston than the higher ones (at least in the p-pump configuration) - the top ring is farther down in the high hp version. I found that out when I had to get oversize pistons for mine. I have heard that the rotary pump and p pump had different intake port swirl cast into the heads. I'm not an expert on them but those are things I found when I was looking for one.
