This is a Vortec 5300 Engine that is a V8 upgrade for the Chevy Trailblazer, GMC Envoy Denali, Buick Ranier, Saab 9-7X, and the Isuzu Ascender. It packs a punch with 300 HP @ 5200 RPM, and 330 lb.-ft. Torque @ 4000 RPM. This display engine just happened to be parked outside my office area and in a convenient location for a photo. We make the 400 HP LS2 Engine for Corvette, CTS-V, and Trailblazer SS also.

Sweet, anyway you can slip that by customs? I will be willing to take my truck up there for yah.

The last engineering manager that tried to help a buddy with that is now flipping burgers at McDonalds. I'm on a low fat diet, so I'll pass.

And this is a fully functioning engine. It would probably cost us more to put together a special one without the inards than it would to just scoop one off the end of our production line.
