1936 Ford “Copperhead”

 
 
Several years ago, we performed suspension upgrades on this car, by adding big sway bars, switching from airbags to coilovers, and fabricated a new exhaust system.

The owner wanted a little change from his rod. So, we’re swapping the 502 Big Block Chevy to a Ford Boss 302 with a custom-fabricated twin-turbo system.
Our combination will put out around 700hp on a mild boost setting, with the capabilities even higher.

Additionally, we’re converting the front suspension to a Schwartz G-Machine style front suspension for increased ride quality and handling characteristics.

 

Engine upgrade:

 
-Boss 302 engine assembly, low compression
-Turbonetics GTK450 turbochargers (x2)
-Turbosmart wastegates
-Custom intake plenum
-Custom under-fender-mounted intercoolers

 

Chassis upgrade:

 
-Schwartz G-machine front suspension
-Baer Extreme+ brake system, 14″ 6 piston brakes front & rear
-Ridetech single-adjustable coilovers
-Power steering rack
