Under the hood of this beauty is a five-liter V8 engine that runs very strong thanks to a rebuild roughly 1000 miles ago.

Supplying the engine with that air/fuel ratio is an Edelbrock Performer intake manifold. Edelbrock valve covers accent the carburetor and add an aggressive look to the engine bay.
