Shop Tour - Hardcore Drag Racing

    I bet you would never miss a day of school if your bus looked like this ! This was seven year custom build with  no expense spared. The body went through a frame-off restoration . For power a 355 C.I. small block Chevy is equipped with a Blower Shop 8-71 supercharger .  Mixing the go juice is a pair of  Edelbrock carburetors topped off with a MR.Gasket scoop . The exhaust exits the aluminum heads through  Hedman Headers and flow through three inch tubing ending at the rear bumper.  A Turbo-400 automatic transmission handles the gear shifts .       Modern touches include power steering, & power disk brakes.    The interior features gray tweed upholstery, a Vintage Air hvac- system has been hidden . Classic Instruments gauges fill the factory dash board , while a tilt steering column and vintage looking steering wheel blend form and function.                                  This Hot Rod bus rides on custom 16 inch chrome wheels with high-speed rated radial tires.        

          This 65' Econoline must sound amazing! It looks like it's running a set of Jet Boat headers for an exhaust system.      For power this beast has a big-block 460 Ford V8 sporting a polished 8-71 blower, it's sitting on top of 2 Rude Ron's four-inch spacers.  Mixing the fumes are two Edelbrock Carbs. with an Enderle Big and Ugly injector scoop catching the fresh air.   Shifting is handled by a heavy-duty C6 Automatic Transmission.Then the power is sent to the ground via a Dana 60 Rear End with 3.73:1 Gears with a locker . For stopping power a set Wilwood  4-Wheel Disc Brakes are at each corner.                                                                             If you are the owner of this Street Freak please contact me,I would love to to know more about it !                Photo's by Mike Salemme 2021
