Ringbrothers reveals high-horsepower builds at SEMA

Year after year, custom car builder Ringbrothers tends to bring the most amazing vehicles to SEMA. This year is no different. The company is bringing a few vehicles to the show, and they’re making their debuts throughout the day. We’ll be covering them all in this post, so make sure to check back to see some of the other rides that have been revealed. The latest one will always be at the top of the post. So let’s see what Ringbrothers has to show.

1972 Chevy K5 Blazer ‘Bully’

The first of the Ringbrothers’ customs revealed is this 1972 Chevy K5 Blazer named “Bully.” And the headline feature is its 1,200-horsepower V8. It’s a 6.8-liter Chevy LS3 with a 2.9-liter Whipple supercharger on top. It also features Flowmaster exhaust and a 4L80E four-speed automatic transmission. Naturally, it still has four-wheel drive, with a Dana 44 front differential and axles and Dana 60 solid rear axle are suspended with dual Fox coilover springs and shocks at each corner. The front suspension setup is and independent design, and the rear end is a four-link solid axle design. Slowing down the big, powerful SUV are Baer six-piston brakes for all four of the custom HRE wheels,.

But as with any Ringbrothers build, the design is possibly more impressive than the also-impressive mechanicals. Everywhere there are little tweaks to the design, such as the power dome on the hood; the heat vents with the same mesh pattern as the grille; the unique carbon fiber design on the fender flares that fit the lines of the factory panels. The roof bars are particularly neat, as they’re unique to this truck, allowing for removable roof panels. But they look like they could’ve been from a contemporary GM concept truck. The interior is also impressive with custom parts everywhere, and nifty woven seats.
