1937 Ford coupe built by Ed Umland out of Eddie’s Chop Shop in Orangevale, California,
It's chopped, channeled and sectioned,
Body sits on a tube chassis with a huge roll cage.
Powered by a mid-mounted 440-cube Chevy LSX Chevy (almost 1,200 hp)
Ford GT transaxle and modified C5 Vette suspension.
The front suspension is also a modified C5 ‘Vette.
The custom sheetmetal intake manifold is designed by Ed.
Attached to twin 80mm Comp Turbos with T4 housings,
Turbo Smart wastegates and blow-off valves, an air-to-air charge coolers and air-to-water charge cooler integrated into the intake.
Don Zemina built the engine and heads.
Custom stainless headers and exhaust by Ed.
They thrashed on this thing at the 1/4-mile drag strip in Famoso Raceway
and with soft launch it ran 152mph at 10.55.
Before they got kicked out for not having a ‘chute.
This is one cool old Ford. I had a chuckle when I first saw it because it reminded me of Hot Wheel toy that's been stripped of its paint.
