GMC Envoy V8

These came with an inline 6 or an 8 cylinder 5.3. So, was that V8 a rare option for the Envoy?

My cousin had one with the weird back folds down kinda makes a truck option. He bought his wife fake boobs for 10k and in the divorce he got to keep the Envoy as she didnt want to give him half the boobs. True Story, told every Christmas and Thanksgiving.

things i didn;t know existed and am not changed now that I know.
Didn;t those things have some fancy roof to them?

That’s not just an Envoy V8, it’s an Envoy XUV V8, with the retractable roof!

The Envoy XUV had a sliding roof to make the back part into a little truck. This looks to be a regular extended wheelbase Envoy with three rows of seating.

After reading about the LL8. I wonder what a classic car with one swapped in would be like.....

Not that special, really. There was only the 4.2I6 or 5.3V8, anything out of the trim level basement should have had that badge.
I think.

I thought the I6 was a base model engine. I don’t think they’re that rare.
The XUV part maybe. Not the V8.

Of the few people I know that got implants, some are divorced. Seems to be a theme.

Actually the black/chrome trim gives it away as the XUV.

The LL8 is pretty cool and a few people have swapped them into modern and classic cars. Some guy did it into an MK3 supra, and there’s an article of a boosted one in an f-body.

The biggest issue is that the cost to install one would likely be the same or more than an LSX. The cost advantage of the lsx swap has really hindered the amount of cool swap potential like the LL8.
It’s also a pretty big engine. Very tall and very long. Not super heavy because it’s all alumnium, but space is definitely an issue.

I just saw an XUV yesterday, so good timing on the post

I love the random variants of the mid 2000s GM vehicles. Saturn Outlook, Saab 9-7X Aero, the XUVs... It’s just all so ridiculous

The esteemed Murilee Martin is building a 1941 Plymouth as a streetable road-racer with the LL8, Lexus SC suspension, and a six-speed manual.
