I'm betting those seats become sweat boxes within 10 mins of driving anywhere in the South of France or similar... |

What a shame they made it look disgusting. Nice engine though.

I agree with landy andy...
looks disgusting, just too much bling 
engine is nice, but why 620ci on the valve cover when stating GM 6,2? 620 cubic inches should be around 10 litres and change? I'd rather have a Def 90 or 110 standard looking sleeper with 10,1 engine with that kind of torque you warp the tarmac in the cities  |

Just goes not prove no matter how much money you have - doesn't mean you have taste!
Engine installation looks nice, with a more restrained interior and front would be a superb truck. Keith |

Change the colour of the interior and get rid of that hideous SVX front end plus silver bonnet and it would be very decent. WARNING.

The interior colour scheme is not really my thing, but you simply cannot fault the attention to detail.

should I now  or 
Grenadier, don't need to
a  is more than enough from you
regarding the sleeper theme: my first car was a Fiat 500L from 1970, and I swapped engine and gearbox from a ... Fiat 126 (no, not another LS swap )
the car went from staggering 18hp all the way up to neck-bending 24hp not much of course in modern days where small hatchbacks and shopping trolleys come with 3-400 hp from factory Anyhow, I considered a gain of 33% in hp and torque was worth the effort so you could argue if a car with 24 hp can be considered a sleeper but with stiffer suspension, disc brakes, magnesium wheels and bucket seats it felt and went like a go-kart and now that I see the video preview, I wish I had known of the boomslang loom upgrade over a decade ago  "Don't drink and drive. You might spill your drink." |

Is this what you were hoping for Kallito?

Lol! Yeah, you're right, I do love my V8s, but to be honest with you, the rest of that vehicle leaves me a bit cold, I don't like that flash interior too much, I wonder what the cost is? Doesn't compare IMHO to the 70th Anniversary V8, which is something I REALLY did like, the ultimate Defender I reckon! Pickles. |
