Powertrain
Engine:
Carroll Shelby aluminum 427 block which has been bored and stroked to 490 cubic inches with a 12.4:1 compression ratio and an Aviaid eight quart dry sump oiling system. The Edlebrock aluminum heads are topped with a tunnel wedge 2x4 intake manifold and plumbed with a NOS Pro-Shot fogger nitrous system and two Road Demon Junior 725 cfm carburetors. Custom two inch stainless steel headers and three inch stainless exhaust.

Transmission: A Tremec TKO 600 five speed with a McCloud aluminum flywheel and clutch assembly, a Tilton hydraulic throw out bearing and a Lakewood bell housing.

Rearend: Ford 9 inch housing with a triangulated four bar air suspension containing a Strange Engineering 3:73 posi third member with 35 spline induction hardened axels. With the 0.68:1 fifth gear the final drive ratio is 2.54:1.

Chassis
Frame: Art Morrison muscle car Max-G frame which was CAD engineered to consider the engine specifications, tire and wheel size, front and rear suspension components and braking requirements. The frame is mandrel-bent 2x4 steel with passages for the side exhaust and driveshaft which allow for a low center of gravity and ride height.

Suspension: The Air Ride Technologies Ride Pro system components have found a home in the trunk area of the car and control the ride height of all four wheels using a Thomas compressor with a three-gallon tank and four way solenoids. The car is capable of attaining a ground clearance of less than 2 inches. Art Morrison's steel tubular control arms provide precise steering control along with an AGR power assisted modified Mustang II rack and pinion system.

Weight Distribution: Total weight is 3280 pounds with 1695 pounds up front (52%) and 1585 pounds in the rear (48%).

Brakes: The braking is being handled by Wilwood SL6 six piston calipers with billet 13” vented rotors and controlled by Wilwood's aluminum triple master cylinder pedal assembly containing a balance bar to accurately set brake pedal bias.

Wheels: Everything is riding on American Racing's Shelby Cobra 427 polished wheels. Up front are 17 x 8 inch, with a 4.75 inch backspacing, and 17x 9.5 inch, with a 5.75 inch backspacing on the rear.

Tires: BF Goodrich G-Force KDWS T/A's with 245/45ZR up front and 285/40ZR on the rear.

STYLE
Body: The only remaining Ford Mustang component of this car is the body shell, and it was extensively modified with an Eleanor style body kit which included the fender flares, upper and lower side scoops, trunk lid, hood and front fascia. All of these modifications were tediously fiberglassed in to give the car a molded seamless appearance.

Paint: PPG black base coat with candy apple red over silver metal flake super snake and GT side stripes and five coats of clear coat.

Interior: All interior and trunk panels were custom fabricated and covered with black leather including the upper and lower consoles and upper dash pad. The dash instrument bezel is filled with Classic Instruments Carroll Shelby edition gauges. The running lights, fog lights, fuel pump and fans are toggle switched inside the lower console along with the Air Ride control module.
