In the middle of the panel van is a 5.2 L <a href=\"https:\/\/performanceparts.ford.com\/part\/M-6007-A52XS\">Aluminator 52XS<\/a> V8 crate motor making 580 hp and 445 lb-ft of torque. The motor features a Shelby GT500 cylinder block (M-6010-M52B), forged steel crank (M-6303-M52), Mahle forged pistons, and Manley H-beam rods. It&#8217;s topped with Shelby GT350 ported heads, Ford Performance 270\/270 camshafts (M-6550-M52), Cobra Jet intake (M-9424-M50CJB), and  47 lb fuel injectors (M-9593-LU47). Behind the V8 is a 6R80E six-speed automatic transmission sending power to a fifth-generation Camaro independent rear end. The van rides on a Art Morrison chassis with a Mustang II front suspension and independent rear suspension. A set of HRE wheels (19&#215;8.5, 19&#215;10) cover Wilwood six-piston front brakes with 14-inch disc and four-piston rear brakes with 14-inch rotors.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"600\"
