This stunning 1930 all steel Henry Ford Highboy roadster is a work of art and engineering. The attributes of this awesome roadster opens with a TCI Roadster Chassis with a 4" drop chrome front suspension, followed by rack and pinion steering, a Heidts Pro 6 independent rear suspension, coil overs and disc brakes on all four corners. Next, the chassis has a custom 7" frame stretch in front of the firewall to accommodate the notorious Ford 428/400Hp Super Cobra Jet Stroker Big Block engine that is polished, ported, balanced and built blueprinted with state of the art competition parts. The engine build included Eagle Stroker Crank, Cobra Jet Ribbed block, screw in freeze plugs, oil galley porting and 14 bolt GT Ported heads. Fuel is delivered to this monster thru a Jim Inglese Weber 8 Stack Custom Polished Carburetor system. A complete electronic video file with photos documents the entire engine build and testing of the engine. The Cobra Jet engine is then dressed with a Tough Stuff chrome water pump and alternator, CVF Racing serpentine pulley system and cooled thru an all-aluminum Griffin Performance radiator system with aluminum shroud and electric fans. The spent gasses are exhaled thru a Sanderson custom 4" header/exhaust system which has been ceramic powder coated. Power is transferred thru a custom built C6 High Performance Race transmission built to handle the 800Hp/750Torgue. For traction and looks, 22" x 10" American Racing Torque Thrust II wheels are on the rear, 19" x 8" on the front riding on BF Goodrich G Force Comp A/S tires. The build included many custom body modifications: flush mounted fuel door, custom rear hatch and a hand formed all aluminum polished wind screen. This roadster is finished in a custom two tone two stage paint with adjacent red pin striping. The interior is complimented by a Dakota Digital elliptical gauge cluster, Lokar shifter and pedals, Ididit steering column, leather wrapped banjo steering wheel, custom leather seats and door panels are installed along with Mercedes tight loop carpeting. This roaster is truly a one of a kind with no details nor expense being overlooked, a complete work of art.
