Description
Contents: Up Front – Bench Build (And you thought your schedule was hectic); The Masthead (Welcome to our new art director, Taylor) Hands On – Horsepower (Twenty pounds of boost plus a 5.0L Coyote equals 1,032 hp); Speed Shop (The guy from Horsepower is gonna need that Centerforce clutch shown here); The Blue Collar 454 (We set out to build the least expensive big-block we could. It makes more than 500 lb-ft of torque); The Killer 460 (The biggest of the three big-blocks, this Ford also made the biggest power of the trio. You’ve gotta love displacement); The Stealthy 400 (IMM built a Chrysler B-series 400 that looks like a basic 383 but makes Hemi power numbers on a Pabst Blue Ribbon budget); Ask Anything (Go ahead, ask. We dare ya) Project Garage – This Guy’s Garage (This is the first instance in memory that we call out a guy’s T-shirt collection in his garage. Don’t worry, there’s way more than shirts in there, though) Features – Krass & Bernie (It’s amazing how pervasive reality TV has become); Todd Huffman’s ’65 Mercury Cyclone (Packing a 14:1 505-inch FE, it dispatches quarter-mile tracks 9.53 seconds at a time); Ryan Buck’s ’63 Chevrolet Nova (A basic suspension rebuild became a stem-to-stern rehab. We can all relate to that); Byron Dragway’s World Power Wheelstanding Championship (Judging by these pictures, we predict Byron will present a Best Bumper Sparks award next year) Back Of The Book – Junkyard Builder (OMG, another acronym to learn: PMGR.LOL!); Where’s The Fun? (Check out the two British burnouts. Wonder if their “tyres” have accents, too); On The Rack (Staffer: Marry me? Model: I’m calling the cops. Staffer: Not again…); Rear View (Another memory from the all-that-was-old-is-new-again file)
