The project called &#8220;Kowalski&#8221; took design inspiration from <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Vanishing_Point_%281971_film%29\">Vanishing Point<\/a> and was built for Mike and Nick Ross to compete in <a href=\"http:\/\/www.centralmusclecars.co.nz\/\">Central Muscle Cars<\/a> racing series. It&#8217;s powered by a 358 ci Dodge small-block V8 originally built by Gillett Evernham Motorsports for NASCAR. It&#8217;s tuned by <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dtechmotorsport.com\">Dtech Motorsport<\/a> and makes north of 800 horsepower. The drivetrain consists of a Holinger Engineering five-speed transmission with a Tilton triple-plate clutch and Ford 9-inch rear end with Winters third-member and axles. The front suspension features a Subaru steering rack, tubular control arms, and AP Racing six-piston brakes. The rear suspension uses a 3-link with adjustable Watt&#8217;s link and AP Racing four-piston brakes. <\/p>\n<p><a
