We discovered this 1967 Godzilla listed on Mecum<\/a> with a modern big-block. Under the cowl hood is a naturally aspirated 7.3 L Godzilla V8 with a Holley low-profile intake manifold. The motor creates 420 hp (308 kW) to the wheels through a Tremec TKX five-speed manual transmission and Currie 9-inch rear end with 3.70 ratio. The Mustang rides on a AJE tubular K-member and TCI 4-link rear suspension. The brakes are upgraded to Wilwood six-piston calipers in front and four-piston in rear. Those are covered by a SVE 18-inch wheels with Nitto NT555 tires. The body is painted in Porsche Chalk Gray paint along with the bumpers and trim. The interior features TMI seats, Dakota Digital gauges, and Classic Auto Air AC system. <\/p>\n
