An ugly truck from Oklahoma that absolutely rips.

Cocaine and High Revs
With pure speed as the goal, dropping a 6.2 LS into a ‘65 C10 named Cocaine (because of the color of the wheels), just seems like the right thing to do. This truck needed to be fast off the line but still be reliable enough to cruise through town to hit up the local hardware store. Sure enough to raise some eyebrows, but most importantly would give the opportunity for plenty of conversation with the locals. When you move from Florida to Texas and build an ugly truck from Oklahoma that absolutely rips, you’re going to have lots of people wanting to talk to you about your truck. One of the first questions will always be “What’s under the hood?”
I drive it like I stole it, if you’re not shifting it at 7500rpm you aren’t doing it right.
The 6.2L has quickly become one of the holy grails of engine swaps. In 2007 Chevrolet would replace the 6.0L with a slightly larger 6.2L in their high performance vehicles such as the Corvette and the Camaro ss. The 6.2 also came in the Denali and Escalade suv and trucks. Straight from the factory you’re looking at a minimum 430 horses at 5900 rpm.
The 6.2 motor got a fully built bottom end that was bored 50 over and studded. Running a Holley Ultra Lo-Ram intake kit with the Holley Terminator ECU, and that’s not all that they had in their baggie.
