\"1934<\/a><\/p>\n

Jay Leno visited Las Vegas to talk with Dave Blake<\/a> about his Duesenberg hot rod. The unique car was originally built by Hal and Bill Ulrich in 1947. The Brothers pulled the 7.0 L (420 ci) DOHC inline-eight and transmission out of a used Duesenberg and installed it into a 1934 Ford. Their goal was to build the fastest vehicle they could. They increased the engine’s output from 265 horsepower to an estimated 350-400 horsepower thanks to increased compression, custom intake, and four carbs. Eventually they replaced the Duesenberg manual transmission with a 1937 Cad\/LaSalle manual transmission. The final creation was very impressive winning several races including a 1949 SCCA drag race. Dave’s Father recognized the car’s history and worked out a deal to purchased the car in 1977. He restored the car with Dave’s help. <\/p>\n
