At the heart of this stunning example is a fresh Ford 460ci Big Block V8. 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 & strong spark.

High Quality Driveline:

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

Putting power to the road is a high quality Driveline Industries polished Extreme 9″ Alloy differential carrier, featuring a 3.9 ratio LSD center with strengthened axles, ensuring this Customline can handle anything thrown its way.
