Brian Hendler and father Bill Hendler along with best friend Treavor Warren have put in many hours and good times building their custom replica. The vehicle will visit charity and fundraising events where the team hopes it will create as much fun for others as it did for them.<\/p>\n

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

The project starts with a stretched and boxed GM A-body chassis. They replaced the small-block Chevy V8 for a 702 ci GMC Twin-Six V12. The V12 had spent the past 30 years on a farm to pump water. After the engine dropped a valve, they rebuilt it with new cam bearings, new rods bearings, and bored the block .020 over. <\/p>\n

Brian wanted the engine to sit as low as possible and the factory 14-inch tall oil pan wasn’t helping. So they reduced the oil pan height to four inches and added a 5-stage dry sump system with a five gallon oil reservoir. Brian estimates the engine is making 285 hp and 690 lb-ft of torque with two 350 cfm carburetors. <\/p>\n
