In this case, they opted to go for a modern twist with a timeless classic. First thing that always needs to be addressed is the chassis and suspension, basically the foundation to the build. Reaching out to Rob over at No Limit Engineering, they got the chassis sitting perfectly and riding even better using the No Limit wide-ride IFS and fat bar rear four-link.

Once the foundation of the build was set, it was time to move to the powerplant. An easy choice is the Ford Performance 5.0 Coyote coming out of the crate with 435 hp. It’s one powerful motor, but KC didn’t stop there; he knew this one needed just a little more attitude. Adding a 2.9L Whipple supercharger woke up the motor and pushed it to over 675 hp.
