Arnold's Vortec 8100 Beast

Post by Indy »

I came upon a pic of one of Arnold's Hummers (not sure if he still owns this one). If you look at the rocker panel, it looks like it says Vortec 8100.

I guess they actually made a production version of that H1. Must have been one mean Hummer <img src='http://www.canadianhummerclub.com/forum ... /smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' /> Arnold certainly seems very happy driving it <img src='http://www.canadianhummerclub.com/forum ... /smile.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />

Theres a handful of 8.1L Hummers out there, GM/AM General was playing with the idea of bringing the gas engine back, it's got nice power/acceleration, comparable to a Duramax Alpha...



Arnold's 8100 is a black on black HMCO, I got a few pictures of the engine bay kicking around somewhere, it was a factory setup, pretty nice truck.

Arnold spoke at the University at Buffalo last year. If I knew about this place sooner, I would have posted it. So you guys can come down to meet him and talk about Hummers. If I went and had a H1, I would see if he would sign it. That would be cool
