My 1932 Ford Model B sedan, stripped of it's fenders and hood, but stuffed with 500 horses of pure Ford power.

The rod has an informal nickname, "Twin Engine", because of how the polished firewall cleanly reflects the engine like a mirror.

I don't build trailer queens. My hot rods are driven more often than you'd think. And as you can see from the pictures that, except for the engine here, all mechanical, body and paint is by me.

Original car was purchased from the estate of a friend after he passed away. Off came the hood, fenders and running boards. Out comes the 289.

A new chassis, interior, and a Bokan Performance FD408 engine take the place of the originals. It prefers 91 Octane fuel, but the FD408 churns out 582ft/lbs of torque (@3900rpm) and 496 horses (@5300rpm).

Here are the engine mods per Bokan Performance:
