It is now powered by a turbocharged VR38 V6 making 650 hp to the wheels. It features factory internals and runs on a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.haltech.com\/product\/ht-195000-nexus-r5-vcu\/\">Nexus R5 ECU<\/a>. Since the V6 takes up so much room in the engine bay, Frank moved the turbocharger, water-to-air intercooler, and custom fuel tanks in the bed. Behind the V6 is a Turbo 400 automatic transmission, aluminum driveshaft, and shortened Ford 9-inch rear end with 35-spline axles. The Ute stops thanks to Nissan R32 GTR brakes in front and Wilwood disc brakes in back. Listen as Frank explains how the project came together. <\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube-nocookie.com\/embed\/dWOxYaEVEBc\" title=\"YouTube
