Collaborating with John McAn from Hot Rod Magazine, they embark on a thrilling project involving the transformation of a 1967 Fastback into a drag car powerhouse. What they uncover under the hood is nothing short of spectacular - a coyote 5-liter crate motor that promises sheer power and adrenaline-inducing performance.
As they plan to showcase the revamped Mustang at various high-octane events, including Roadkill Nights and the prestigious SEMA show, the team faces unexpected challenges with the car's electronics.

As they gear up for the next phase of the project, which involves ordering parts from Amazon and reconstructing the Mustang into a street-legal drag car, the team's passion and expertise shine through, promising an exhilarating journey ahead. Stay tuned as MotorTrend Channel takes you on a thrilling ride through the world of muscle cars and high-performance engineering like never before.
