RacingJunk Pick: 383 V8-Powered Isuzu AmigoBy Brian Lohnes Posted 02/04/10

Who would of ever thought that a lowly Isuzu Amigo could ever be considered awesome sleeper hotness? We didn't see this one coming, but once we laid our eyes on it, we fell instantly in love. The sick bastard that decided to bolt a 450hp 383ci stroker into this little cute 'ute should either be given an award or a straight jacket. We want to buy him beers.  

From the photos shown on an ad at RacingJunk.com, the only initial judgement we have is on the exahust system which looks to be hanging really low and kind of awkward. We're thinking that's because an off the shelf header was used (not that there is one for this swap, but something that fit was shoehorned in) so a trip to the header shop would probably result in a cleaner job, and more sneaky approach to suprise unwitting victims.

One of the more interesting things mentioned in the ad is the fact that the body has been lowered three inches and "braced" to handle the massive power infusion.

Don't get us wrong, the outside of the truck is still hideous. The graphics and half convertible top are enough to turn our stomach, but in our world, horsepower cures all evils. Just for a second imagine how awesome it would be to blow off "fast" stuff left and right with this thing.

We want it, bad!
