Specialty Vehicle Engineering<\/a> (SVE) built this 2020 YENKO Silverado as a demo truck to show off their work at events and dealerships. The truck is powered by a supercharged 378 ci (6.19L) LT1 V8 producing 800 hp (588 kW). The motor features an aluminum block, forged steel crank and h-beam rods, forged aluminum pistons, ported LT1 heads, and custom stainless steel headers. Behind the V8 is a heavy-duty converter and six-speed automatic transmission. SVE lowered the truck’s suspension two inches in front and five inches in back. They added heavy-duty traction bars and 1.5-inch rear sway bar. The factory front brakes were swapped to Brembo six-piston calipers and 16.1-inch vented rotors. Inside the wells are 22×10-inch forged aluminum wheels with Nitto NT420V 375\/45 tires. SVE is selling the truck<\/a> on their website.<\/p>\n
