Who knows if the original straight-six was still in this 1947 Hudson truck when the project started. Whatever the case it’s now powered by turbocharged 7.3 L Ford Power Stroke V8. The engine comes with fire-ringed heads, 100 lb injectors, and a big 88 mm turbo. The engine is hooked to a ATS 4R100 automatic transmission through an ATS Five Star torque converter. The original goal was 1,000 horsepower but it currently makes 800 horsepower. It could be due to the fact that the rear wheels are having a hard time with traction. This is the first racing vehicle built to be driven by a quadriplegic. The controls were built by Randy Simmons, President of Robotic Integrated Technology LLC.<\/p>\n
