Jade has always been my “Hot Rod” Ford and I was going to expand on this by refining what’s under the hood. The 350 motor breaths, a Dual-Plane Edelbrock Performer EPS intake has a Holley 4-Barrel Double Pumper 650 cfm, rests on top of a pair of ported and polished cast iron 64cc – 2.02-1.65 valves, camel hump – angle plug heads.
The motor roar comes from a pair of custom headers made 1-5/8in tube, 3in collector headers with a 2 ½ X-Pipe Kit, Summit Racing™ complete electric exhaust cutout, then finally a pair of Walker Quiet-Flow SS mufflers. The health of the engine is monitored with the help of Stewart Warner Heavy-Duty Series Analog Gauges, AEM Electronics X-Series Wideband UEGO Air/Fuel Sensor and a Sun Super Tach II 8,000 RPM Blue Line Vintage Tachometer.
The muscle of this power plant is directed through a Ford wide ratio Top-Loader transmission that is a big input (1-3/8”) and big output (31 tooth) with a Hurst competition plus shifter. Then, it’s sent through the new-process 205 transfer case and then to the upgraded 4.11 gear.
As you can tell, she is a looker, thanks to LMC, and also quick at a traffic light, even though she weighs in at 4800 lbs.
