Custom bodywork created by Allison’s includes a fiberglass hood with functional scoops and extractors, as well as modified side scoops with billet inserts. The exterior was refinished in blue using DuPont paint covered by multiple coats of clear. H4 headlamps and sequential-flashing taillights are fitted, and a custom “Powered by a Supercharged Coyote” badge is affixed to the front grille. The window trim, windows, wiper arms, mirrors, door handles, bumpers, and gas cap were also reportedly refinished or replaced during the build. The side and rear windows are tinted.

Multi-piece 18” True-Forged wheels are mounted with 245/40 front and 275/35 rear BFGoodrich g-Force Comp 2 tires. Wilwood disc brakes feature six-piston calipers up front and four-piston calipers out back, as well as drilled and slotted rotors all around. Adjustable coilovers are mounted at all four corners, and the TCI Engineering front clip includes tubular A-arms, rack-and-pinion steering, and subframe connectors.

Adjustable Sparco sport seats are equipped with four-point Sparco harnesses. A custom eight-point roll cage has also been fitted, and the rear seats were removed. Interior features include power windows, air conditioning, an aluminum Bowler shifter, and a custom center console with cup holders. When open, the driver’s door panel is equipped with a light projector that shines the Mustang logo on the ground.

An Alcantara-wrapped Sparco steering wheel is mounted to a tilting Ididit column and frames Dakota VHX gauges. A multi-function display on the passenger side of the dashboard shows vehicle speed, boost pressure, and engine rpm. A Kenwood CD player is connected to an amplifier, subwoofer, and four speakers.

The trunk was refinished with insulation and carpeting and is equipped with a battery cut-off switch and an Aeromotive fuel cell.

The 5.0-liter Coyote V8 was an “Aluminator” crate engine from Ford Performance and features an aluminum block, aluminum cylinder heads, forged Mahle pistons, Manley H-beam connecting rods, ARP rod bolts, a forged crankshaft, 32 valves, and Boss 302 valve springs. Additional engine-bay equipment includes an aluminum Griffin radiator, electric cooling fan, and Ring Brothers aluminum hood hinges. The engine is fitted with a Whipple supercharger and was reportedly re-tuned in October 2021 by Danbury Competition Engines in Connecticut. Additional service included aligning the supercharger belt, repairing a vacuum leak and an oil line leak, changing the oil, and replacing the spark plugs.

Ford updates Power Stroke diesel V8, strengthens F-450, tweaks King Ranch

Thu, 26 Sep 2013

Ford is giving its F-Series Super Duty trucks some upgrades for 2015, and we're happy to say that one of them is an improved Power Stroke diesel V8. Also, Ford is strengthening the top-of-the-line F-450 to handle more abuse. And if wild west-style luxury is your thing, the automaker has performed minor cosmetic updates to its King Ranch Edition trucks, as well.
The turbocharged 6.7-liter Power Stroke V8 is currently rated at 400 horsepower and 800 pound-feet of torque, and Ford only tells us the new and improved Power Stroke can "produce power beyond today's" engine. What, then, did Ford actually improve upon? First, the Blue Oval swapped in a new, larger turbocharger. The new Garrett GT37 turbine unit is 72.5 millimeters in diameter, eclipsing the old GT32's 64-mm diameter piece. Ford states output increases with the new turbo setup, but since the new turbocharger operates at a lower peak pressure than the old one, the automaker was able to eliminate the wastegate system and reduce the engine's complexity. Ford even redesigned the turbo's oil and cooling lines to make the powerplant simpler. A byproduct of the larger turbo is better engine exhaust braking, which is controlled manually by a button on the dashboard.
Ford claims the upgraded diesel engine is more powerful, more robust, more efficient and more refined than before.

Latest Forza Horizon 3 car pack features a Skyline and a fast Swedish wagon

Tue, Jan 3 2017

The steady stream of Forza Horizon 3 car packs shows no signs of slowing down, and the latest Rockstar Energy Drink pack includes enthusiast favorites such as the R31 Skyline and the Volvo V60 Polestar. The car pack also features a couple of sporty two-doors and some off-road oriented machines. Luxury-minded players will be pleased to see both the Bentley Bentayga and BMW i8 make an appearance. People more concerned with ultimate performance will have a different pair to consider. Players will want to check out the Ford trophy truck for busting dunes, and the Radical RXC Turbo for race-car levels of pavement performance. Finally, yet another classic Aussie muscle car appears in the pack: the 1972 Ford Falcon XA GT-HO. For those interested in the new rides, this car pack is included in the Forza Horizon 3 Car Pass, or can be purchased on its own. If only one or two vehicles are must-haves, it's also possible to purchase the cars individually.
