Description
Lot #720 - The modern HEMI lettering on this 'Cuda's clean Shaker hints at the 6.1 liters of modern HEMI power that reside beneath the hood. The $24,000 Street Legend HEMI engine was sourced from Indy Cylinder Head. At the top of the professionally assembled engine, dual Edelbrock 4-barrel carburetors, flowing 600 CFM each, dump air and fuel into a lightweight aluminum intake. That intake feeds CNC-ported heads, which stack body-matched valve covers on chromoly pushrods, Manley Beehive springs and titanium retainers. Beneath those heads, a COMP hydraulic roller cam helps create stout 10.3:1 compression. That compression gets sparked by pliable FireCore wires, which are sequenced to hot MSD ignition. Spent gases exit through stainless long-tube headers. Cooling comes courtesy of a custom, double-pass Performance Rod & Custom radiator, which is teamed with two SPAL puller fans. Lubrication is provided by a high-performance Melling oil pump, which siphons a deep Milodon pan. The car's body-matched engine bay looks great under billet hood supports. Behind the premium engine, body-matched floors center a tough SFI scattershield in front of a modern TREMEC 5-speed manual transmission that kicks a spry Dana 60 rear axle that's finished with a Sure-Grip differential and big 3.73 gears. The drivetrain pushes a full XV Racing suspension that cages quality Hyperco coilovers in beefy sway bars. Turns come courtesy of power rack & pinion steering. Hydratech-boosted Baer calipers cinch a quartet of drilled and slotted rotors to manage speed. There's a pair of welded subframe connectors that ensure the massaged HEMI isn't at odds with the car's menacing body. A rumbling soundtrack fills ceramic-coated, large-diameter pipes that thread coated MagnaFlow mufflers, and at the corners of the chassis, handsome Fikse wheels spin BFGoodrich G-Force T/A tires. Inside this E-body's solid doors is a custom leather interior. Tall bucket seats join a factory bench in stretching sturdy RJS harnesses across full power adjustment for the driver and front passenger. In front, a leather-wrapped dash hangs familiar AutoMeter telemetry in a carbon-fiber instrument panel, which sits above modern air conditioning and modern Kenwood audio. A flash drive showing the entire build process is included. **TITLE IN TRANSIT**
