Putting the Muscle back into Classic Cars

The blown Chevrolet Big Block in the 1958 Apache Truck

Of course you need a big motor to drive your big truck. We built a 454 Crate motor with 8.6:1 compression and a B&M 871 blower into the engine bay of this little black pick up truck. This was backed by a Turbo 400 transmission and you couple this with the Jag rear end it definitely does get up and boogey.

None of this fit into the grafted front end / engine bay easily so custom mounts had to be made and everything of course had to be fit and mounted at the correct angle and location for it all to align and work smoothly.
