After finding this sedan on a nearby farm, it was taken to our body shop to have every
nut, bolt, crossmember and body panel peplaced that showed a hint of rust...
First on the list of mods was the engine, an all roller, 540 Ci Chevy based on a merlin 3
race block, filled with 4340 crank and rods and topped with a heavily ported set of
pro-topline aluminum heads, complete with jesel shaft rockers. all of which is being
packed full by a pro-charger f3-r supercharger producing sick power and torque.
that power is sent to a bullet proof turbo 400, packed with all of the goodies including
vasco input, jw ultrabell,billet sprag, transbrake, billet pan and a custom converter
from ultimate...
next up, we snagged the interior out of a new caddy, heated power seats, consoles and
all, to make cruisin with 1500hp on tap as docile as possible... hehehe. we also painted the
dash with house of kolor candy orange and filled it with an all new instrument
cluster from autometer and replaced all of the chrome with billet..
on to the chassis, where pat bennett race cars did a minitubb along with a custom nine
inch rear with ladder bars, aluminum center section, 35 spline axles and billet rear
brakes...
all tubing from the cage down to the crossmembers is 4130 chromoly to aid in strength
and weight savings.
and now to the front, where pbrc fabbed a chromoly tube front frame which ties in to
the 10 pt cage, all of which was painted in a snake skin pattern with hok paints. front
suspension consist of strange adjustable aluminum struts and billet brakes. the
tubular front frame also makes room for the pbrc fabbed 2.5 into 5" ceramic coated
headers and the rack and pinion steering...
don't be fooled into thinking that this car is a trailer queen. pushing almost 1500hp and
willing to idle at 900rpm without any overheating or charging problems is a walk in the
park... not to mention that you can literally pull tire smoke up inside the car at will
going 80 mph, even with some very sticky 15" hoosiers...
get your checkbooks out boys, save yourself the years of parts hunting and months
and months of build time...
