1965 Mustang with a 7.3L Godzilla V8

This 1965 Mustang started life with an inline-six and automatic transmission. Tremec decided to give it a second life after sitting in a barn for many years. The Mustang was sent to Bonafide Customs in Napoleon, Ohio. There the company stripped it down to a bare shell and fabricated custom fender flares, rockers, air scoops, and rear spoiler. The body is covered in BASF blue paint with trim painted a darker blue. In the engine bay sits a 7.3 L Godzilla V8 crate motor producing 612 hp (450 kW) and 670 lb-ft (908 Nm) of torque. Behind that is a Tremec TKX five-speed manual transmission and Currie 9-inch rear end. Everything is supported by an Art Morrison chassis with Ridetech coilovers, Wilwood disc brakes, and a set of OP/D wheels. Tremec plans to document the full build process on their blog.
