Description

The engine is a 6.0 liter LS2 motor (400 HP before any performance add-ons) that was swapped in from the super-fast 2009 Trailblazer SS with only 14k miles on the clock. An Edelbrock port-injection system feeds the block, a billet serpentine system drives all the components, and a giant aluminum radiator with dual electric fans keeps the temperature at bay. It’s set into a beautifully finished engine bay that’s as much old-school hot rod as 21st century tech, with an LS retro-kit that transforms the modern engine into a 1st generation presentation. Black finned Chevrolet valve covers, a matching air cleaner, and hidden wiring and plumbing make this one of the coolest engine bays you’ll ever see. The front suspension uses a tubular A-arms, upgraded coils and shocks, and a sway bar, so it feels more like a modern Corvette than a vintage F-body, while the rear end is a heavy-duty 12-bolt with an aftermarket differential cover. The floors were painted satin black and provide a spectacular background for all the newer performance parts, including the mid-length headers that feed the H-pipe Magnaflow dual exhaust system. Wilwood disc brakes with drilled and slotted rotors at all four corners are mandatory when you have wheels that’ll show them off, and those US Mag wheels with machined lips wear 17s up front and 18s in the back.
