LS-V8 Power in the 1989 Chevrolet K5 as Restomod!

This Chevrolet K5 blazer Model year 1989 no longer has the standard 5,7-liter V8 small-block under the hood, but is now made by one 408 cubic inch V8 cheered. And the team from built it Prestige Motorsports from North Carolina. And the tuner didn't just install the engine, but also created the entire vehicle Prestige Motorsports. The 6,7-liter V8 (Increased displacement) they also donated a large one Air Filter, there was a 102 millimeter throttle body and one FAST LSXR 102 intake manifold. It went on with 821 cylinder heads in LS3 style, Manley Pushrods, LS7 fans and a few other minor details. The result turns out to be full 547 PS and 704 Nm torquethat the souped-up V8 uses hidden MagnaFlow exhaust system trumpeted out. Incidentally, the off-roader is driven either by means of all wheel drive or with rear-wheel drive and is switched in the Restomod with a Jake's Performance 4L80E-GM automatic.

Eibach springs and Fox shock absorbers

According to the ad, the four-speed automatic got another one Yank torque converter installed and some other high-quality components that are not known to us. By the way, at the back joins the 14-hole rear axle another automatic one Eaton Detroit locker limited-slip differential and also a robust one NP205 transfer case with one Magnum underdrive planetary gear from Offroad Design is installed.

The classic is braked by means of Disc brake system All around and the contact to the street the K5 mediates by means of Four-link front and rear suspension with Eibach springs and Fox shock absorbers.

Not to forget the massive black Method Race Wheels Beadlock off-road rims with coarse off-road tires (37 × 13.50R17LT BF Goodrich Mud-Terrain T / As). And of course, a custom-made interior should not be missing. You can see two chic ones PRP seats, there is one Six point roll cage and here, too, it's the little details like that Momo sports steering wheel, the modern Air conditioningwhich JL Audio System, the digital Holley EFI ad or the fully digital one instrument clusterthat make the difference.

However, the difference is also made by the heavy one Price. Enormous 259.900 US Dollars A three-decade-old commercial vehicle with modern components is a lot of money, but we don't know of any K5 Blazer that comes close to this one.
