And for music lovers, there is one Kenwood radio with one Rockford Fosgate subwoofer, two foosball speaker, two JBL speakers and two Polk speakers. But now to the core, the 6,0 liter LQ9 Vortec V8 engine. Equipped with a double air intake, FiTech injection, special Bendsto Sport camshaft and an Edelbrock ECU, the engine is not only an eye-catcher, but should also have a lot of power under the hood. A special detail is the red one Engine cover.
The power is transmitted either to the rear axle or to all four wheels mittels Four-speed manual transmission , and a Dual range transfer case. Finally, a quick comparison to another truck: A 1986 GMC K1500 High Sierra, also a Restomod. Both are similar, but while the GMC also has a 6,0-liter Vortec V8, it also has one compressors.
