Finally, the ute gets its engine transplant.
After receiving an array of Holley engine parts, the 6.0-litre V8 now looks like a completely different unit.
The most notable addition to the LS1 is the intake manifold which sits on top of the V8 and sticks out of the engine bay.
Before being hooked up to the engine, the transmission recieves aftermarket parts like a bellhousing, flywheel and clutch so the gearbox doesn’t explode when the boys burn up the rear tyres (it would be un-Straya for them not to do so).
Also, worth noting is the front fenders of the Holden which have been buffed out, so the installation of the wide body kit is already underway.
You can get a sneak peak of the final product in Forza Motorsport 7 with the Commodore ute being a part of the Hoonigan car pack.
If you've been living under a rock for the past couple of months, Hoonigan are aimming to get 600hp (447kW) out of its NOS powered ute and to show-off the completed car at this year's SEMA.
We'll continue to keep you posted on any further updates of the Hoonigan ute project.
