Standard bore 350. Hydraulic roller, 190 cc runner heads. 4L60E and a locker, with 4:10gears. Fat tires too. Much fun. Not so much MPG.

Nice! A guy I worked with about 40 years ago was a chevy dealership parts counter guy. Bill stuck a 400 sbc in a LUV. The thing would chirp the tires every time he put it in drive! It was the first engine swapped car I had ever known and I couldn't understand it. I do now! Thank you Bill Stapleman!

In memory of Bill:

I came close to buying a new LUV. They were popular and the dealer had the price jacked up over list. No way.

I owned one of these for awhile. It was entertaining but it needed to be modded to truly perform. An aluminum LS would have been far better. Displacement is tough to beat.
