Chevy LUV with a Mid-Engine Twin-Turbo V8

Published in engineswapdepot.com

Cole Reynolds from CR23 Services built his 1974 Chevrolet LUV to turn heads at the autocross. Behind the cabin is a twin-turbo 5.3 L LSx V8 producing an estimated 500-550 hp (367-404 kW) paired with an Sadev sequential transaxle. The motor features stock internals, Tick Performance water-to-air intercooler, Holley Hi-Ram intake manifold, Hooker headers, and Holley Dominator ECU. Eventually Cole is swapping the current motor for a built 383 ci LSx V8 from Boostline Performance. The 2611 lb (1184 kg) truck sits on a custom tubular chassis with a No Limit Mustang II-style front suspension and fifth-generation Camaro rear suspension. On each corner is a Forgeline wheel covering Baer XTR six-piston calipers with 15-inch rotors.
