Aussies put 700hp V12 engine in Kia van to make the delivery truck from hell

By Iain KellyIain Kelly

A couple of years ago a pair of engineer brothers from Melbourne by the name of Matt and Shane Corish designed and built a V12 variant of an LS1 V8.

Producing over 700hp it blew the Internet apart, and now they have fitted one of these engines to their 1990s Kia Pregio van to make an ultra-sleeper!

The boys got it done over Easter and have been resolving issues with overheating, and twisting the body up!
