The main components of this 210 wagon’s powertrain date from the 21st century. The engine is a 6.0-liter iron-block LS V-8 sourced from a modern Chevrolet truck that showed about 25,000 miles on the odometer when the engine was removed. The engine was torn down and inspected rebuilt using LS3 cylinder heads, an LS3 camshaft and LS3 intake and fueling components. A standard 6.0-liter LS2 aluminum engine is rated at 400 horsepower and 400 lb-ft of torque; with the LS3 components installed in this wagon, with these components we estimate output to be in the same range as an LS2. The fuel-injected steel block engine doesn’t smoke or leak, and the installation is sanitary and the engine bay is cleanly executed enough to nearly pass as factory clean. The 6L80 six-speed automatic transmission that had about 15,000 miles on it when it was pulled from a 2011 Camaro. The transmission shifts smoothly through all six forward speeds and like the engine, doesn’t leak. An expert, in the field, made sure that the electronic components that manage the engine and transmission were properly connected and interfacing correctly for seamless
