So what do you do when you want to go all out? Forget fixing your engine cooling issue, you just dump the engine and drop a 358 cubic inch V-8 NASCAR Cup Car engine under the hood. And you don't just get any NASCAR engine, you acquire the engine out of Mark Martin's Pfizer race car.
But you can't just drop a NASCAR race car engine in a Mustang and bolt up the rest of the powertrain. So Marc installed a TEX Racing T101A four-speed clutchless transmission and driveshaft from Martin's race car. The intake, cam, and carburetor were all changed to make the car more road course friendly.
Whiteline Flatout provided their full suspension package, including the watts link and anti-dive kit while Randy's Ring & Pinion/Yukon Gears provided the racing differential, axles, and gears.
As it currently sits the car has about 817 horsepower at the flywheel when redlining of 8,500 rpm, but that's before final tuning and calibrations. In the end Marc and his team are expecting to have 850 horsepower at the crank.
