Under the hood of this old Chevy is a modern LS7 V8 engine. At 7.0-liters, the LS7 features a forged 4140 crankshaft and forged titanium connecting rods. The camshaft is a hydraulic roller, and the cylinder heads are all aluminum. The GM Performance LS7 is assembled by hand at the assembly plant in Wixom, Michigan. The naturally aspirated engine is rated at approximately 600hp.
Shifting duties are handled via a Tremec T-56 manual gearbox backed up by a Ford 9-inch rear end.
Detroit Speed (also based in Moorseville) contributed most of the chassis and suspension components. The brakes are from Wilwood.
Exterior and interior upgrades are extensive and beautifully done. The paint is a Kia color over a custom basecoat.
This is a gorgeous car that is built to “tote the mail.”
