For nearly a decade, Chevrolet Performance’s 1967 C10 has been a highlight of many automotive events across the United States. Originally appearing in late 2017 to celebrate the next year’s 100th anniversary of Chevy trucks, it has served as a showcase for multiple crate engines* from the Bowtie.

Now, the truck features the Chevrolet Performance L8P crate power plant.*

The engine debuted in the C10 during this year’s HOT ROD Power, visiting all five stops throughout the Southeast and Midwest. The 6.6L L8P is built on the LT platform and is derived from the ultra-strong L8T crate engine.*

However, the L8P utilizes a unique camshaft based on the LT2 engine in the eighth-generation Corvette to offer up 523 horsepower and 543 lb.-ft. of torque.

“The L8P provides good, usable horsepower and torque curves, it's very drivable and it sounds good,” says Jeff Trush, Chevrolet Performance Group Manager for Specialty Show Vehicles and Pace Cars.

We spent some time with the L8P-equipped C10 during this year’s Power Tour stop at Nashville Superspeedway in Lebanon, Tennessee. Today, one of our favorite photos from that shoot is a wallpaper download.
