I chopped it 4.5" and I channeled the body 2.75". I also put a metal roof on it! The steering is a new reverse corvair steering box with traditional steering. quick release steering wheel for ease of getting in and out of the vehicle. The dash is out of a 1951 Oldsmobile. I cut approximately 13" out of this dash to make it fit. The Gauge cluster is just cosmetic. I have a gps mounted in the car for speedometer and odometer. the gps was reset when I finished the car. every mile driven is recorded! It has a 4r70w automatic transmission with overdrive. it is shifted by a B&M shifter. A manual Valve body was installed to eliminate the computer. The 4.6 SOHC engine runs great and smooth! The short block is a NPI out of a Lincoln. The PI heads are off of a 2000 mustang gt. This combination bumps up the compression ratio. I just put $800.00 into putting trick flow cams, new upgraded valve springs and timing chains in it. It has a carbureted Edelbrock intake with a 600 edelbrock carb. It also has 8 cop`s for ignition. The ignition system is controlled by MSD MOD 6. Very easy system to work with and tune the car! The tuning parameters are endless for this setup! Very expensive setup. starts and runs great everytime! The rear end is out of a 1979 Lincoln. It is a disk brake 9". It has a 2.70 gear ratio. Cruises 65 mph at 1050 rpm! I built this car to be very reliable and to get good gas mileage. I average close to 40 MPG with it! The STOP light in the back has been upgraded with a 6" led light inside of it for maximum visibility and safety. When the brakes are pressed all the brake lights come on. NO TURNSIGNALS! stick your arm out! The Trunk lid is held down by custom leather belt straps made by my wife! She antiqued them and they work and look great! Lots of comments about them everywhere we go!! I made a custom license plate bracket that will stay on the car. the front end is a 6" drop tube axle with disk brakes.

The fan works great! tested it once but the car never gets hot enough for it to even come on! I made all the coolant lines out of copper and it works and looks cool! I built a custom set of headers for it that will come with the car. I just wanted the exhaust system all the way out the back! Personally the headers I built look better on the car! I put 4" motorcycle baffles in each primary tube to quiet it down. I also header wrapped them! I built the frame in a jig. It is a 2x3 3/16" rectangular steel frame. 4" kick up in the front. 16" kickup in the back! 2" drop Model a front crossmember. very strong frame! all joints were welded and on top of that gusseted!

I have bottom cushions made for it and you rest your back on the rear interior panel! its actually comfortable! im 6` tall and 230 lbs and I fit perfect! I built it for bigger people. If you`re shorter then you could put a seat in it putting you closer to the pedals and steering wheel. I have one marine 6" speaker in it hooked to a amplifier. I hooked a ipod hook up to the amplifier also. It is plenty loud! very clean set up. I am using the original gas tank in the car! it holds 10 gallons of gas. I have a carter electric fuel pump on it to transfer fuel to the carb. at close to 40 mpg you can travel pretty far! Be ready though, I cant drive this car anywhere and expect to leave soon!

Ken Block and friends race light in silly-beautiful Castrol commercial
Wed, 28 May 2014How does one make fast, loud, drifting cars better? Well, you can add more fast, loud, drifting cars or you can add lasers. Either or, really. In this case, Castrol did the right thing and added both, creating a highly stylized commercial for its Edge Titanium motor oil starring South African racer Adrian Zaugg, BMW factory driver Augusto Farfus, Audi DTM and Le Mans staple Mike Rockenfeller and some bloke named Ken Block.
Their cars? No surprise, but Block is in his Ford Fiesta GRC, while Zaugg samples a Lamborghini Aventador and Farfus and Rockenfeller drive along party lines, with a BMW M4 and an Audi R8, respectively. And those cars look good, too, thanks to the creative light and laser work on display.
Take a look below for the video from Castrol.
We compare 2021 Ford Bronco and Bronco Sport specifications to their ritzy Land Rover competiton
Tue, Jul 14 2020The 2021 Bronco and Bronco Sport are the spearheads for Ford's new 4x4 sub-brand, with the former taking the fight directly to the Jeep Wrangler and the latter providing Ford with a more rugged alternative to the Escape. We've already looked at how the new Bronco and Bronco Sport compare to their mainstream competition, but we'd like to see how the Bronco stacks up to another hotly anticipated returning nameplate: the Land Rover Defender. Not to leave its little sibling in the cold, I decided to browse Land Rover's lineup and see what might be a suitable counterpoint to the Bronco Sport. For better or worse, I found an almost-perfect fit in the Range Rover Evoque. So, how do these new American 4x4s compare to the Old Country's more-expensive alternatives? Let's dig in, starting with the big boys. As you might expect from the Bronco's robust credentials, it holds its own here against the more-expensive Brit. The Defender's higher price point brings along a good bit of power advantage with both engines, but that's to be expected. The Defender also has that trick adjustable-height suspension that the Bronco lacks, giving it an edge in practicality, and it can also tow quite a bit more. On the flip side, there are quite a few advantages to going with the Ford, including a greater number of choices in terms of powertrain. The available manual transmission on four-cylinder Broncos is a nice bonus, for instance, as is the option of getting either the base 2.3-liter or the optional 2.7-liter engine with either wheelbase. The Defender is a bit more restrictive in this regard offering only the inline-six on the short-wheelbase model. As an added bonus, the Bronco is a convertible. That may not necessarily be a "plus" for all shoppers, but it's certainly an added bit of versatility (and potential appeal) the Defender lacks. And of course, the Bronco can be had for as little as $30,000, whereas the Land Rover starts at $50,000. Now, on to the less-rugged siblings. The specs here are actually a little tighter in most respects, but the powertrain story is almost identical. The Evoque checks in where the Bronco Sport tops out, and the Range Rover gets an optional high-output variant of the 2.0-liter turbocharged four.
2014 Holman & Moody 50th Anniversary TdF Ford Mustang
Mon, 01 Jul 2013If you're a fan of Ford racing history, a Mustang worshiper or even just an avid follower of our yearly SEMA coverage, you may have heard the back story on the Race Red Mustang you see above. Back in 1964, Holman & Moody was tapped by the English Alan Mann Racing Team to race-prep three Mustangs for competition in the incredibly arduous 4,000-mile Tour de France Automobile rally. Competing mainly against Jaguar MkII saloons over 10 days and 17 stages, the H&M Mustangs took the top two places in the Touring class and the first-ever racing win for Ford's pony car.
Though the history of that first Mustang win hasn't been incredibly well known here in the States, the subsequent decades have seen plenty of racy versions of the car come and go. Last year at the SEMA show, we covered the brief debut of this living tribute to that piece of racing lore, the Holman & Moody 50th Anniversary TdF Mustang.
This limited-edition Mustang represents a kind of new venture for H&M, as the legendary racing shop has spent the last few decades earning its keep largely by restoring vintage racing cars. The urge to get back into the world of Ford and Mustang was powerful, however, what with the car's 50th anniversary looming and the current generation of 'Stang just about out the door.
