1968 Ford Mustang gets modern Ferrari engine

We have already told you about numerous interesting premieres and reveals that took place at this year’s SEMA Motor Show. Now, it seems like we still have a few news items to cover before calling it done. Enter the 1968 Ford Mustang with a Ferrari engine on board!

American Legends, a tuner shop for classical cars and “hot rods”, led the project. The team started by replacing the stock engine with a new 4.3-liter, naturally aspirated V8 taken from a Ferrari F430. They proceeded to equip the Italian engine with two turbochargers, thus raising its output to 700 hp (522 kW).

Aside from the above, the car features a six-speed sequential transmission, a bespoke body kit, Ferrari California air intakes, Avant Garde F461 wheels in glossy black, Wilwood brakes, a sports exhaust system and the Ride Tech Shockwave suspension.
