Under the shiny hood is a 6.0 L LSx V8 built by Ross Automotive Machine<\/a> capable of 630 hp. The motor features a Holley intake manifold and FAST EZ-EFI throttle body. Exhaust is routed through a set of Ultimate headers to dual 2.5-inch pipes. <\/p>\n

Behind the V8 is a Streetfighter converter and TCI 4L80E four-speed automatic transmission. A custom aluminum driveshaft sends power to a Strange 9-inch rear end equipped with a limited-slip differential, 3.70 ratio, and 31-spline axles. <\/p>\n

Everything is supported by an Art Morrison GT Sport chassis<\/a>. Up front are tubular control arms and Pro drop spindles. In back is a triangulated 4-link suspension. Each corner features a Strange coilover, Wilwood Pro Series disc brake, and a Boze Shifter 18-inch wheels. <\/p>\n
