6.0 V8 H3

[BuzzH3]

I know that this has been posted before and it may even be the same H3, but this guy was at an Off-Road event I went to last weekend. It was a green H3 with a 6.0 liter V8 in it. He said it was the engine and transmission from an H2. He claimed it was putting out about 425HP!!! He has 35's on it and a 2" body lift. I have to say that it was very well done. It almost looked like it came from the factory that way. From the inside, it looked bone stock. Everything worked including traction control. He didn't change out any other driveline components.
He was running all of the trails that we were running. He also gave me a ride in it on the road. He did several full throttle launches and everything (at least for now) seemed to be holding up really well. It was very impressive. He claimed that he was getting about 16-17MPG!!!

I took some pictures that I will post when I get home tonight.
