Spoiler alert: many of the vehicles that have been used in the Fast and Furious franchise over the years have been powered by LS powerplants. In fact, in Fast and Furious 6 and 7, almost every vehicle that you seen in the movie was powered by an LS3 and backed by a TH400 transmission. From the Jensen Interceptor to the “Dodge Daytona” that goes head to head with a tank, they are all running on LS motivation. You could say that the Fast and Furious franchise was built on the back of the LS—not the 2JZ, no shit.

And now we have confirmation that Dom’s beloved Charger in the upcoming eighth—holy crap are we really on eight?—installment of the Fast and Furious franchise is, in fact, powered by a 550 horsepower LS.

This confirmation comes to us via Marty and Moog, the venerated hosts of Mighty Car Mods, who recently traveled to Dennis McCarthy’s shop in order to check out some of the cars from Fast and Furious 8 before it debuts next month. In case you aren’t familiar with McCarthy, he and his shop have been building cars for the boy-racer films almost since the very beginning, and Marty and Moog have made it a habit of dropping in and kicking the tires on the movie cars before their big screen unveiling.

While we’re slightly ashamed to admit it, we’ve been following along with the Fast and Furious saga for a while now simply because it’s a movie about cars—plus its got the Rock, what’s not to like? And the central character, other than Vin Diesel’s Dom, has always been the ’69 Dodge Charger. While we’ve known from the beginning that the supercharger sitting atop the Charger was fake, we always assumed it was still Chrysler powered.

It turns out, however, that nothing could be further from the truth. As you’ll see in the above video, the “new” Charger that can be seen skittering across the ice in previews is actually powered by an LS3 in a mid-engine configuration. That’s right, mid-engine. That because the new version of Dom’s invincible Charger is four-wheel drive. In order to make room for the front differential, the LS was pushed virtually to mid-ship—even going as far as eliminating the necessary room for a passenger seat; not that Vin Diesel needs passengers—he is obviously a lone wolf that plays by his own rules.

The car has also been widened substantially to allow room for the LS and the new drive components to coexist. They even fire up the LS3-powered Charger and give it a few revs. We’re not sure about you, but it seems like a pretty fun ride to us. 550 horsepower and four-wheel drive certainly seem like they would make for an entertaining combination on any terrain.

And while we’re absolutely positive that the next Fast and Furious movie will have even more unrealistic car stunts and more than likely even less to do with the actual cars, we are at least happy to know that one of the coolest cars on set is LS swapped. LS swap the world!
