The engine bay is filled from end to end with a big 383 cubic-inch stroker V8. This one shines just like the exterior with all the chrome components and the valve covers specially painted in slippery metallic blue. But this V8 is not just about style; it has serious substance, too. Besides the monster displacement, this one has a Weber four-barrel carburetor, Edelbrock intake, and MSD ignition. The power exhales through ceramic headers on its way through the wicked sounding dual exhaust. The total package is rated 425 HP and 440 ft. lbs. of torque. While this sounds like the perfect machine to tear up the streets, this custom build is much more versatile. For example, the 700R4 four-speed automatic transmission is a beefy enough GM gearbox to handle all this power, but it's also an overdrive unit, which means it's nice on the highways. The same goes for the Ford 9-inch rear end running a versatile 3.73 ratio. It all feels great on the road with an independent A-arm front suspension, four-link rear, power steering, and four-wheel disc brakes.
