\"1956<\/a><\/p>\n

This 1956 Continental Mark II was built by Scott Laitinen and his company SIC Chops<\/a> in Cave Creek, Arizona. Scott calls the car “Mae” because during body restoration they found a signature on the underside of the trunk by Mae West. The project recently won Custom of the Year at Goodguys 33rd All American Get-Together in Pleasanton, California. <\/p>\n

Under the hood sits a Jon Kaase 520 ci V8 that produces close to 850 horsepower. The engine is based off a all-aluminum big-block Ford 429 ci V8. Two of the most obvious upgrades on the engine is the Inglese eight stack injection coming out of the Kaase Boss Nine semi-hemisperical heads. All this Ford goodness is controlled by FAST XFI system.<\/p>\n
