First Rivian with a V8 LS3 in it...

[SACDFJC]

Taking the race car engine to the shop for some upgrades.... I got a lot of funny looks at the RAN while charging.

Title needs to be changed to "first 1500hp Rivian." How is that for click bait?

You got me!

Not far off on the HP numbers once The engine is built. R1T + built LS3 = 1500+

For the curious this is what the engine goes in....

Awesome crawler! I also got some looks filling up a 5 gallon gas can in the bed of a Rivian at a gas station during hurricane season…not as cool as a monster V8 in the bed.

Well played.

I was thinking why downgrade?

Rarely a day goes by when I don’t think about putting an LS3 in something…

Looks like a fun project. Thought it was funny as well when I got my Headers for my Chevy SS Sedan. The headers and Whipple Supercharger made a great car even more amazing. 2 crazy fast vehicles with totally different experiences.

Huge upgrade in auditory satisfaction when driving though.

Just going to be a crawler or racer as well? I sold my buggy after the kids wouldn't fit

Wow - please post where we can follow THAT build. That looks like the business.

It's being built race ready. But it will be more of a crawler.

No build thread, sorry. I have a few pics on my instagram account that is the same as my screen name here.

This is significantly (not even comparably) cooler than the Tesla guy that keeps a can of "V8" in his Frunk to show people that the car has a v8.....
