The car sits on a Roadster Shop full chassis and is powered by a Ford Racing 5.0 L Aluminator XS crate engine. This is an upgraded version of the Aluminator SC version and produces 500+ horsepower. The engine is connected to a six-speed T-56 transmission. With the custom metal work this is one clean and mean Mustang.
