• A POWERHOUSE:

At the heart of this beast is a Ford 460ci Big Block V8, an engine that commands respect. Equipped with Ford Performance Super Cobra Jet Alloy Heads, this powerplant is designed for easy performance on pump fuel while being a turn key street car. Sitting atop the alloy Tunnel Ram setup are twin Holley 750 carburetors with MSD Ignition providing reliable spark.

A high-volume winged sump keeps oil circulation optimal, and a large alloy radiator with twin thermo fans ensures the engine stays cool even under the most demanding conditions. Every detail of the engine bay is meticulously planned, with all braided hosing adding a professional touch.

 

• EXHAUST ENGINEERING:

The car breathes through a custom twin exhaust system that is not just an engineering marvel but a work of art. Designed for both performance and sound, this system delivers an aggressive roar that is sure to turn heads wherever it goes.

 

• QUALITY DRIVELINE:

Backing up the monstrous V8 is a Ford C6 HD automatic transmission, purpose-built for heavy-duty performance. A 3200-stall converter provides the perfect launch, while an external alloy trans cooler maintains optimal operating temperatures.

Power is then sent to the road through a Driveline Industries polished Extreme 9" Alloy differential carrier, featuring a 3.9 ratio LSD center with strengthened axles, ensuring that this Customline can handle anything thrown its way.

 

• BRAKING AND SUSPENSION:

Stopping power is equally impressive, thanks to a full four-wheel disc brake setup utilizing components from the Australian X Series Ford catalogue and a Wilwood master brake cylinder.

All suspension and bushings are renewed throughout, allowing this classic more modern handling characteristics without compromising its vintage appeal.

 

• ROLLING:

The aggressive stance is further enhanced by a staggered set of Billet Industries wheels—20 inches at the rear and 18 inches up front—wrapped in low-profile tires. The combination not only looks stunning but also ensures maximum stability at higher speeds.

 

• SHOW PAINT & LEATHER INTERIOR

A build of this caliber deserves nothing less than a high-end show-quality finish, and this Customline delivers. Every inch of the body, floor pans, chassis, and suspension components has been treated to a flawless paint job, ensuring that the car stands out whether on the road or at a show.

Inside, the luxury continues with a Full Leather interior, including headlining and custom door cards. A set of Autometer gauges provides accurate readings, adding a modern touch to the classic dashboard.

A quality Kenwood Stereo system is fitted for good measure.

 

• BUILT TO DRIVE:

This 1956 Ford Customline is far more than just a classic car—it’s a super-strong street machine, engineered to bring utter joy on the road and at shows.

With an impeccable blend of high-end craftsmanship, raw power, and stunning aesthetics, it stands as a true testament to build quality.

Whether cruising the streets or entering car shows, this Customline will impress.
