Gavin Brown is building a unique off-road vehicle on his channel Death Toll Racing. The project starts with a 1965 Pontiac Catalina Safari wagon sitting on a stock chassis with tubular crossmembers and 4-link suspension with King coilovers. Power will be generated by a 5th generation all-aluminum L83 V8. The 4×4 drivetrain currently uses a TH350 automatic transmission, NP208 SYE (slip yoke elimination) transfer case, Dana 44 front axle, and 14-bolt rear axle. Gavin will eventually swap to a TR6060 manual transmission and Atlas transfer case down the road.

“will be generated by a 5th generation all-aluminum L83 V8”?
Don’t you mean an LS3?

Thanks for asking but I do mean “L83”. The L83 is a Generation 5 small block V8 truck engine.

Ok, as I am not up to speed on most truck engines. I guess they were going for tq over hp-thus a truck engine.
LS is just part of a Chevy/GM engine group called L-series. This one, the L83, is part of that series.
