Homebuilt Ford Mustang Thoroughly Deserves Iconic Gulf Oil Livery

While the vintage Mustang’s exterior is the most striking thing about the build, its engine is another highlight. It rocks a 302 small block V8, bored to 333-cubic-inch displacement with 11.8:1 compression, paired with a Holly Spark 2 ignition box, a nitrous system, Holly Sniper electronic fuel injection, and a Holly Hyper Spark distributor.

The performance parts don’t stop there, as it also has long-tube headers and a custom exhaust system. The power figures for the build have yet to be revealed. However, it’s safe to assume it should be making more than the stock 290 horsepower and 385 lb-ft of torque from the factory.

A five-speed Tremec TKX manual gearbox sends power to the wheels, while the drivetrain has a custom aluminum driveshaft and a Currie 9-inch differential with a Moser center section. There’s a hint of laughing gas, too.
