I don't have the numbers handy. I know the whole project, which Cummins dubbed "Light Duty Diesel" has been through lots of iterations. Back in the day (~2008), they were going to have a 4.2L V6 and a 5.6L V8 versions:

At some point the V6 got scrapped. Like I said earlier, Cummins had a signed contract to make the 5.6L V8 for the 1/2-ton Dodge Ram pickups in ~2010. Cummins had the manufacturing lines all built and ready to go. I've toured the manufacturing facility in Columbus, IN, just down the road from where I live. Then Chysler axed the contract during their bankruptcy.
Since then, Cummins went looking for another customer and pretty much re-did the whole design, transforming the 5.6L into a 5.0L.
I've seen all kinds of specs for the various generations, but I'm not sure where the final 5.0L specs have landed.
