Default REAL Jake on a 5.9

Ok, this may be far fetched but it's something I really want. I need the opinion or advice from the mechanics or more experienced guys. I want a true compression brake for a 5.9
24V. If it can be done, I'd be willing to pay somebody to CNC one based off an N14. I've gone as far as to email the guys at Jake Brake but they say they have no plans to make one. If it can't be done, what engine manufacturers out there besides Detroit ( i don't want a 2 stroke) make an engine with a Jake that's small enough to fit in a 2nd Gen Dodge?

If this was easy enough, don't you think
that thousands of us would already have them?

Pretty much an entirely different engine for starters.

The idea is being kicked around by pacbrake...... But I'm doubtful it'll happen but it defiantly would be sweeeet! Build it, we will buy....DO IT - TDR Roundtable Want an ENGINE brake for your B-series?! Vote here! - TDR Roundtable

Be a killer setup. But the cost, couldn't fathom it!

Might as well set your truck up to run an 8.3...they have jakes don't they? That's gonna take one big cowl hood too.
