The magic of this resto mod is that to the untrained eye it appears to be a stock '54. A trained eye would reveal a slight 3" hot rod rake, a closer look would note the slight inset of the front wheels giving the appearance of larger rear tires. Visually stock but the get behind the wheel going down the road and you'll know that this early 'Vette is a beast! The block was replaced with a ZZ4 400HP with 430ft. lbs of torque V8. It has ported Aluminum Heads, Matched Edelbrock RPM intake manifold, Edelbrock 750 CFM carb, Roller Rockers, Sanderson Cast Headers that were Thermo Coated, Mallory Unilite tach drive distributor and cooled with a Aluminum Be Cool radiator. All that power is moved by a Turbo 350 transmission with a Trans-GO Stage 2 shift kit, B&M Torque Converter which is controlled through the B&M Z Gate Shifter. So yes it's got some juice! The rear end can handle the power as it was upgraded to a 9" Ford with a Traction-Lok Differential with 3.50 gears, Moser 31 Spline Axles. You are going to need some stopping power so the front end was changed out to a Fat Man front end with Rack and Pinion steering, GM 11" DISC brakes, The upper and lower control arms are tubular and the rear suspension are parallel leafs.
