\"1968<\/a><\/p>\n

Fat Fender Garage<\/a> upgraded this classic 1968 Ford F-100 with modern power and handing. In the engine bay they swapped a supercharged 5.2 L Predator V8<\/a> from a Mustang Shelby GT500 paired to a 10R80 10-speed automatic transmission. The motor features forged steel crank and rods, forged aluminum pistons, 2.65 L Eaton TVS supercharger, Fat Fender Garage accessory kit, and custom stainless steel exhaust. It produces 760 hp (566 kW) and 625 lb-ft (847 Nm) of torque. Fat Fender Garage improved the handling using their Level 2 chassis<\/a> with a coilover independent front suspension, front and rear sway bars, and 4-link rear suspension. On the inside they installed black leather seats, Sparc steering wheel, Dakota Digital gauges, and push-button start.<\/p>\n
